obiutils Package: File Path Utility Functions
This Go package provides two utility functions for manipulating file paths by removing extensions:
RemoveAllExt(p string) string
- Purpose: Strips all file extensions from a given path (e.g.,
/dir/file.tar.gz→/dir/file). - Mechanism: Iteratively uses
path.Ext()andstrings.TrimSuffixto remove extensions from the full path, including directory components if they contain dots (though rare). - Use Case: Useful when you need to sanitize a full path for naming or comparison, regardless of extension stacking.
Basename(path string) string
- Purpose: Extracts the base filename without any extensions (e.g.,
/dir/file.tar.gz→file). - Mechanism: Uses
filepath.Base()to get the filename, then iteratively strips extensions viastrings.TrimSuffix. - Key Difference: Operates only on the filename, not directory parts — safer and more conventional for typical file handling.
Both functions handle multi-extension files (e.g., .tar.gz, .backup.zip) robustly. They avoid reliance on strings.LastIndex or regex, favoring clarity and standard library usage (path, filepath).
Designed for portability across Unix-like systems (uses forward slashes), though Windows paths are supported via filepath.Base.
