How to work with windows from under nix to ruby?

Question

ruby

I'm actually a bit in a stupor.
From under nix (ubuntu) the script works with different paths, the paths can be both nix and windows.
No problems with nicks

nix_path = Pathname.new '/nix/path/ok/file.txt'
nix_path.basename # => <Pathname:file.txt> 
nix_path.parent # => <Pathname:/nix/path/ok>

And the trouble with Windows..

win_path = Pathname.new 'C:\win\path\file.txt'
win_path.basename # => <Pathname:C:\win\path\file.txt> 
win_path.parent # => <Pathname:.>

The same goes for using File

File.basename 'C:\win\path\file.txt' # => "C:\\win\\path\\file.txt"

How to be?

Answer 1

win_path = Pathname.new 'C:\win\path\file.txt'.tr('\\', '/')

And in general, conceptually, you are using Pathname incorrectly. its implementation is system dependent. Therefore, it is better to use it for native paths for the current OS. And for paths from your subject area (Unix / Win / etc), write separate classes that do everything as you need
