Cast paths/directories to string

[joeyballentine]

Suggested in the RTX Remix discord. Users should be able to connect directories to string inputs, or there should be a path to text node that can turn a path into a string with options for Unix or Windows formatting

with options for Unix or Windows formatting

Would that even be possible? I can see how one would format a windows path (e.g. C:\foo\bar) in unix style (e.g. /c/foo/bar), but not the other way around (e.g. what is /foo/bar in windows style? There is no drive).

So I guess the only styles we can support are unix and "native" (= the raw path).

[joeyballentine]

e.g. what is /foo/bar in windows style? There is no drive

\\foo\\bar

[RunDevelopment]

e.g. what is /foo/bar in windows style? There is no drive

\\foo\\bar

That not a valid path anywhere...

[joeyballentine]

why can't partial/relative paths be valid?

[RunDevelopment]

/foo/bar is an absolute path. That's why \foo\bar doesn't make sense.
