How do I remove the file name from a URL or String?
String os = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
String nativeDir = Game.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getFile().toString();
//Remove the <name>.jar from the string
if(nativeDir.endsWith(".jar"))
nativeDir = nativeDir.substring(0, nativeDir.lastIndexOf("/"));
//Load the right native files
for(File f : (new File(nativeDir + File.separator + "lib" + File.separator + "native")).listFiles()){
if(f.isDirectory() && os.contains(f.getName().toLowerCase())){
System.setProperty("org.lwjgl.librarypath", f.getAbsolutePath()); break;
}
}
That's what I have right now, and it work. From what I know, because I use "/" it will only work for windows. I want to make it platform independent
Consider using org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils
You can extract the base path, file name, extensions etc with any flavor of file separator:
String url = "C:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe";
String baseUrl = FilenameUtils.getPath(url);
String myFile = FilenameUtils.getBaseName(url)
+ "." + FilenameUtils.getExtension(url);
System.out.println(baseUrl);
System.out.println(myFile);
Gives,
windows\system32\
cmd.exe
With url; String url = "C:/windows/system32/cmd.exe";
It would give;
windows/system32/
cmd.exe
