How to convert FILE:///<PATH> to just <PATH>, using built-in classes. Andrew Backer
2/5/2008 6:03:27 PM

I have a few file:///c:/windows/somewhere style uris that I need to convert
to the actual physical path. I am hoping there is a built in way to handle
this.

I know I can do some text replacing and get the path, at least in this case,
but I'd rather not do that if there is something that already does it more
robustly.

Take a look at the 'Uri' and 'Path' classes.

Andrew,

You can hava a look at the uri, however I would just do
\\\
mystring = mystring.tolower.replace(file:///,"")
