Bug 6147 – file scheme uri from file path and vice versa

It would be useful to have it built in with phobos. I believe it's quite common and generic pattern, so people wouldn't have to inverse slashes conditionally on windows (+glue of course).

This question isn't very specific, I'm not sure what's being asked for. "file scheme uri" sound like: file://c:\bob.txt --> c:\bob.txt but the comment says "have to inverse slashes", which sounds like: c:\bob.txt --> c:/bob.txt First, windows, in most operations can use either slash. auto f = File("c:\bob.txt") auto f = File("c:/bob.txt") should both work. Second, there is std.path.buildNormalizedPath, and the doc for std.path documents several other spots where different slashes are respected. I'm guessing that was commit here: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/commit/6364506918446fb62816f92ac621a71bff88dbdf?diff=unified I'm gonna close this, but please re-open if I've misunderstood the question. (And maybe you could post some samples of what you're looking for)
