Normalize File Paths Without Failing

Source: R/path_utils.R
normalize_path_safely.Rd

A vectorized [normalizePath()] that never errors or warns: blank and `NA` inputs become `NA`, and a path that cannot be normalized comes back as it was. Paths need not exist. Separators are forward slashes on every platform.

Usage

normalize_path_safely(x)

Arguments

x

Character vector of paths.

Value

A character vector of normalized paths, named by the inputs.

Details

**Note:** `normalize_path_safely()` normalizes *filesystem paths* using [normalizePath()]. It does **not** scale or normalize numeric numbers; for min-max scaling of numeric vectors, see [min_max_norm()].

Examples

normalize_path_safely(c("data/../data/file.csv", "", NA))
#>   data/../data/file.csv                    <NA>                    <NA> 
#> "data/../data/file.csv"                      NA                      NA
