OS delimiter question

[MisterX]

Thanks Richard! 

hence the little utility function for shell file path processing
in xos...

-- looks overkill but it's written to handle defaults first
-- and handle user os naming requests in a general environment.
-- I know there's many ways of turning this function in or
-- out, it's just a way to script safely for all occasions!
-- i think the switch op should be the fastest handling in this
-- case. It's just not a frequent function.
-- From the xos language notes.

function OSFileDelimiter os
  if os is empty then put the platform into os
  switch os
  case "macos"
  case "mac"
  case "osx"
  case "macintosh"
  case "apple"
    return ":"
  case "win32"
  case "win"
  case "dos"
  case "winxp"
  case "w2k"
  case "w2k3"
    return "\"
  end switch
  -- default
  return "/"
end OSFileDelimiter

cheers
Xavier
