str append_path( const str& xsPath1, const str& xsPath2 );

Description

Returns a path combined of the parts xsPath1 and xsPath2 in which they are connected by a path separator. If xsPath1 or xsPath2 is empty, then the respectively other part is returned without attaching a path separator.

Example:

str sLogPath = append_path ( current_path(), "log.txt");

instead of

str sLog = current_path() + path_separator + "log.txt";

Under Windows is valid:

   append_path("a", "b") == "a\\b"

   append_path("a\\", "b") == "a\\b" 

   append_path("a", "\\b") == "a\\b"

   append_path("a\\", "\\b") == "a\\b"

   append_path("a", "") == "a"  

   append_path("", "b") == "b"
