path function

Get or set a URL's path

as in the lubridate package, individual components of a URL can be both extracted or set using the relevant function call - see the examples.

path(x)

path(x) <- value

Arguments

• x: a URL, or vector of URLs
• value: a replacement value (or vector of replacement values) for x's path. If NULL, the path will be removed entirely.

Examples

# Get the path
example_url <- "http://cran.r-project.org:80/submit.html"
path(example_url)

# Set the path
path(example_url) <- "bin/windows/"

# Remove the path
path(example_url) <- NULL
