To convert a Windows-style path to a Unix-style path (and vice versa) using the path package in Golang, you can use the path/filepath package. This package provides a FromSlash function and a ToSlash function that can be used for this purpose. Here's an example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"path/filepath"
)
func main() {
// Windows-style path
winPath := "C:\\Users\\Username\\Documents\\file.txt"
// Convert Windows path to Unix path
unixPath := filepath.ToSlash(winPath)
fmt.Println("Unix path:", unixPath)
// Unix-style path
unixPath = "/home/username/documents/file.txt"
// Convert Unix path to Windows path
winPath = filepath.FromSlash(unixPath)
fmt.Println("Windows path:", winPath)
}
Output:
Unix path: C:/Users/Username/Documents/file.txt
Windows path: C:\Users\Username\Documents\file.txt
In the example above, the ToSlash function converts a Windows-style path to a Unix-style path by replacing backslashes ("") with forward slashes ("/"). Similarly, the FromSlash function converts a Unix-style path to a Windows-style path by replacing forward slashes with backslashes.
