non-OO realpath, basename, dirname?

Is there a better way than below? (Note: I don't want to implement realpath et al myself :-).

  require 'pathname'

  def realpath(p)
    Pathname.new(p).realpath
  end

  def basename(p)
    Pathname.new(p).basename
  end

  def dirname(p)
    Pathname.new(p).dirname
  end

Regards,
dave

   Pathname.new(p).realpath
   Pathname.new(p).basename
   Pathname.new(p).dirname

Sorry, that should've been:

    Pathname.new(p).realpath.to_s
    Pathname.new(p).basename.to_s
    Pathname.new(p).dirname.to_s

For basename and dirname:

  File.basename(p)
  File.dirname(p)

Dunno for realpath :frowning:

Hi,

   Pathname.new(p).basename.to_s
   Pathname.new(p).dirname.to_s

File.basename(p)
File.dirname(p)

   Pathname.new(p).realpath.to_s

File.expand_path(p), though it doesn't follow links. The #realpath implementation in pathname.rb does the resolving by itself, so it seems you have to make your own function :I
