Python的os.path.relpath作为shell函数

这个relpath练习的目标是模仿xni提出的Python 2.7的os.path.relpath函数(从Python 2.6版可用，但只能在2.7中正常工作)。因此，一些结果可能与其他答案中提供的函数不同。

(我没有在路径中测试换行符，因为它破坏了基于从ZSH调用python -c的验证。经过一些努力，这当然是可能的。)

关于Bash中的“魔法”，我很久以前就放弃了在Bash中寻找魔法，但我已经在ZSH中找到了我需要的所有魔法，然后是一些。

因此，我提出了两种实现。

第一个实现的目标是完全兼容posix。我已经在Debian 6.0.6的“挤压”上用/bin/dash测试了它。它还可以在OS X 10.8.3上完美地与/bin/sh一起工作，这实际上是伪装成POSIX shell的Bash版本3.2。

第二个实现是一个ZSH shell函数，它对路径中的多个斜杠和其他麻烦具有健壮性。如果您有可用的ZSH，这是推荐的版本，即使您是在下面给出的脚本形式中调用它(即使用#!/usr/bin/env zsh)。

最后，我编写了一个ZSH脚本，根据其他答案中提供的测试用例，验证$PATH中relpath命令的输出。我通过添加一些空格、制表符和标点符号，例如!？ *在这里和那里，还抛出了另一个测试与vim-powerline中发现的奇异UTF-8字符。

POSIX外壳函数

首先，posix兼容的shell函数。它适用于各种路径，但不清除多个斜杠或解析符号链接。

#!/bin/sh
relpath () {
    [ $# -ge 1 ] && [ $# -le 2 ] || return 1
    current="${2:+"$1"}"
    target="${2:-"$1"}"
    [ "$target" != . ] || target=/
    target="/${target##/}"
    [ "$current" != . ] || current=/
    current="${current:="/"}"
    current="/${current##/}"
    appendix="${target##/}"
    relative=''
    while appendix="${target#"$current"/}"
        [ "$current" != '/' ] && [ "$appendix" = "$target" ]; do
        if [ "$current" = "$appendix" ]; then
            relative="${relative:-.}"
            echo "${relative#/}"
            return 0
        fi
        current="${current%/*}"
        relative="$relative${relative:+/}.."
    done
    relative="$relative${relative:+${appendix:+/}}${appendix#/}"
    echo "$relative"
}
relpath "$@"

ZSH壳函数

现在是更加健壮的zsh版本。如果您希望它将参数解析为真实路径à la realpath -f(在Linux coreutils包中可用)，请将第3行和第4行上的:a替换为:a。

要在zsh中使用它，请删除第一行和最后一行，并将其放在$FPATH变量中的目录中。

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
relpath () {
    [[ $# -ge 1 ]] && [[ $# -le 2 ]] || return 1
    local target=${${2:-$1}:a} # replace `:a' by `:A` to resolve symlinks
    local current=${${${2:+$1}:-$PWD}:a} # replace `:a' by `:A` to resolve symlinks
    local appendix=${target#/}
    local relative=''
    while appendix=${target#$current/}
        [[ $current != '/' ]] && [[ $appendix = $target ]]; do
        if [[ $current = $appendix ]]; then
            relative=${relative:-.}
            print ${relative#/}
            return 0
        fi
        current=${current%/*}
        relative="$relative${relative:+/}.."
    done
    relative+=${relative:+${appendix:+/}}${appendix#/}
    print $relative
}
relpath "$@"

测试脚本

最后是测试脚本。它接受一个选项，即-v来启用详细输出。

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
set -eu
VERBOSE=false
script_name=$(basename $0)

usage () {
    print "\n    Usage: $script_name SRC_PATH DESTINATION_PATH\n" >&2
    exit ${1:=1}
}
vrb () { $VERBOSE && print -P ${(%)@} || return 0; }

relpath_check () {
    [[ $# -ge 1 ]] && [[ $# -le 2 ]] || return 1
    target=${${2:-$1}}
    prefix=${${${2:+$1}:-$PWD}}
    result=$(relpath $prefix $target)
    # Compare with python's os.path.relpath function
    py_result=$(python -c "import os.path; print os.path.relpath('$target', '$prefix')")
    col='%F{green}'
    if [[ $result != $py_result ]] && col='%F{red}' || $VERBOSE; then
        print -P "${col}Source: '$prefix'\nDestination: '$target'%f"
        print -P "${col}relpath: ${(qq)result}%f"
        print -P "${col}python:  ${(qq)py_result}%f\n"
    fi
}

run_checks () {
    print "Running checks..."

我使用的macOS默认情况下没有realpath命令，所以我做了一个纯bash函数来计算它。

#!/bin/bash

##
# print a relative path from "source folder" to "target file"
#
# params:
#  $1 - target file, can be a relative path or an absolute path.
#  $2 - source folder, can be a relative path or an absolute path.
#
# test:
#  $ mkdir -p ~/A/B/C/D; touch ~/A/B/C/D/testfile.txt; touch ~/A/B/testfile.txt
#
#  $ getRelativePath ~/A/B/C/D/testfile.txt  ~/A/B
#  $ C/D/testfile.txt
#  
#  $ getRelativePath ~/A/B/testfile.txt  ~/A/B/C
#  $ ../testfile.txt
#
#  $ getRelativePath ~/A/B/testfile.txt  /
#  $ home/bunnier/A/B/testfile.txt 
#
function getRelativePath(){
    local targetFilename=$(basename $1)
    local targetFolder=$(cd $(dirname $1);pwd) # absolute target folder path
    local currentFolder=$(cd $2;pwd) # absulute source folder
    local result=.

    while [ "$currentFolder" != "$targetFolder" ];do
      if [[ "$targetFolder" =~ "$currentFolder"* ]];then
          pointSegment=${targetFolder#$currentFolder}
          result=$result/${pointSegment#/}
          break
      fi  
      result="$result"/..
      currentFolder=$(dirname $currentFolder)
    done

    result=$result/$targetFilename
    echo ${result#./}
}

#!/bin/bash
# both $1 and $2 are absolute paths
# returns $2 relative to $1

source=$1
target=$2

common_part=$source
back=
while [ "${target#$common_part}" = "${target}" ]; do
  common_part=$(dirname $common_part)
  back="../${back}"
done

echo ${back}${target#$common_part/}

我需要这样的东西，但它也解决了符号链接。我发现pwd有一个-P标志用于此目的。附加了我的脚本的一个片段。它在shell脚本的函数中，因此是$1和$2。结果值是从START_ABS到END_ABS的相对路径，位于UPDIRS变量中。为了执行pwd -P，将脚本cd放入每个参数目录，这也意味着将处理相对路径参数。干杯,吉姆

SAVE_DIR="$PWD"
cd "$1"
START_ABS=`pwd -P`
cd "$SAVE_DIR"
cd "$2"
END_ABS=`pwd -P`

START_WORK="$START_ABS"
UPDIRS=""

while test -n "${START_WORK}" -a "${END_ABS/#${START_WORK}}" '==' "$END_ABS";
do
    START_WORK=`dirname "$START_WORK"`"/"
    UPDIRS=${UPDIRS}"../"
done
UPDIRS="$UPDIRS${END_ABS/#${START_WORK}}"
cd "$SAVE_DIR"

自2001年以来，它被内置到Perl中，因此它几乎可以在您能想象到的所有系统上工作，甚至VMS。

perl -le 'use File::Spec; print File::Spec->abs2rel(@ARGV)' FILE BASE

而且，解决方案很容易理解。

举个例子:

perl -le 'use File::Spec; print File::Spec->abs2rel(@ARGV)' $absolute $current

.．.会很好。
