Detailed Description

File and directories basic tools.

The example below shows how to manipulate the functions of this class to create first a directory which name corresponds to the user name and then create a file in this directory.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <visp3/core/vpIoTools.h>
int main()
{
  std::string username;
  vpIoTools::getUserName(username);
  // Test if a username directory exist. If no try to create it
  if (vpIoTools::checkDirectory(username) == false) {
     try {
       // Create a directory with name "username"
       vpIoTools::makeDirectory(username);
     }
     catch (...) {
       std::cout << "Cannot create " << username << " directory" << std::endl;
       return false;
     }
   }
  // Create a empty filename with name "username/file.txt"
  std::ofstream f;
  std::string filename = username + "/file.txt";
  filename = vpIoTools::path(filename); // Under Windows converts the filename string into "username\\file.txt"
  std::cout << "Create: " << filename << std::endl;
  f.open(filename.c_str());
  f.close();
  // Rename the file
  std::string newfilename = username + "/newfile.txt";
  std::cout << "Rename: " << filename << " in: " << newfilename << std::endl;
  if (vpIoTools::rename(filename, newfilename) == false)
    std::cout << "Unable to rename: " << filename << std::endl;
  // Remove the file
  std::cout << "Remove: " << newfilename << std::endl;
  if (vpIoTools::remove(newfilename) == false)
    std::cout << "Unable to remove: " << newfilename << std::endl;
}

The example below shows how to read a configuration file and how to create a name for experiment files. We assume the following file "/home/user/demo/config.txt" :

expNumber 2
save 0
lambda 0.4
use2D 0
use3D 1

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <visp3/core/vpIoTools.h>
int main()
{
  // reading configuration file
  vpIoTools::loadConfigFile("/home/user/demo/config.txt");
  std::string nExp;vpIoTools::readConfigVar("expNumber", nExp); // nExp <- "2"
  double lambda;vpIoTools::readConfigVar("lambda", lambda);     // lambda <- 0.4
  bool use2D;vpIoTools::readConfigVar("use2D", use2D);          // use2D <- false
  bool use3D;vpIoTools::readConfigVar("use3D", use3D);          // use3D <- true
  bool doSave;vpIoTools::readConfigVar("save", doSave);         //  doSave <- false
  // creating name for experiment files
  vpIoTools::setBaseDir("/home/user/data");
  vpIoTools::setBaseName("exp" + nExp);         // full name <- "/home/user/data/exp2"
  vpIoTools::addNameElement("2D", use2D);       // full name <- "/home/user/data/exp2" since use2D==false
  vpIoTools::addNameElement("3D", use3D);       // full name <- "/home/user/data/exp2_3D"
  vpIoTools::addNameElement("lambda", lambda);  // full name <- "/home/user/data/exp2_3D_lambda0.4"
  // saving file
  vpIoTools::saveConfigFile(doSave); // would copy "/home/user/demo/config.txt" to "/home/user/data/exp2_3D_lambda0.4_config.txt" if doSave was true
  // create sub directory
  vpIoTools::createBaseNamePath();  // creates "/home/user/data/exp2_3D_lambda0.4/"
}

void vpIoTools::getUserName ( std::string & username )

static

Get the user name.

Under unix, get the content of the LOGNAME environment variable. For most purposes (especially in conjunction with crontab), it is more useful to use the environment variable LOGNAME to find out who the user is, rather than the getlogin() function. This is more flexible precisely because the user can set LOGNAME arbitrarily.
Under windows, uses the GetUserName() function.

Parameters

username : The user name.

Exceptions

std::string vpIoTools::getViSPImagesDataPath ( )

static

Get ViSP images data path. ViSP images data can be installed from Debian or Ubuntu visp-images-data package. It can be also installed from ViSP-images.zip that can be found on http://visp.inria.fr/download page.

This function returns the path to the folder that contains the data.

It checks first if visp-images-data package is installed. In that case returns then /usr/share/visp-images-data".
Then it checks if VISP_INPUT_IMAGE_PATH environment variable that gives the location of the data is set. In that case returns the content of this environment var.

If the path is not found, returns an empty string.

int main()
{
  {
    std::string chain("/home/user;/usr/local/include;/usr/include");
    std::string sep = ";";
    std::vector<std::string> subChain = vpIoTools::splitChain(chain, sep);
    std::cout << "Found the following subchains: " << std::endl;
    for (size_t i=0; i < subChain.size(); i++)
      std::cout << subChain[i] << std::endl;
  }
  {
    std::string chain("This is an other example");
    std::string sep = " ";
    std::vector<std::string> subChain = vpIoTools::splitChain(chain, sep);
    std::cout << "Found the following subchains: " << std::endl;
    for (size_t i=0; i < subChain.size(); i++)
      std::cout << subChain[i] << std::endl;
