-- HFS Path

set pathconv to PathConverter's make_with("Macintosh HD:Users:tkurita:Documents:hey.txt")

log (relative_path of pathconv for "Macintosh HD:Users:tkurita:articles:hello.txt")

(* ::articles:hello.txt *)

log (absolute_path of pathconv for "::hello.txt")

(* Macintosh HD:Users:tkurita:hello.txt *)

-- POSIX path

set pathconv to PathConverter's make_with("/Users/tkurita/Documents/hey.txt")

log (relative_path of pathconv for "/Users/tkurita/articles/hello.txt")

(* ../articles/hello.txt *)

log (relative_path of pathconv for "/Users/tkurita/Documents/")

(*./*)

log (absolute_path of pathconv for "../articles/hello.txt")
