Installation 📦

To install File Path Validator, clone the repository and install it using pip:

pip install file-path-validator

Usage 📖

from FPV import Validator  # Import the Validator class from the FPV package

path = "example/path/with/invalid<>characters"
validator = Validator(path, service_name="windows")  # Specify the service name and path

try:
    validator.check_if_valid()  # Validate the file path
    cleaned_path = validator.get_cleaned_path()  # Get the cleaned path
    print("Path is valid!")
    print(f"Cleaned path: {cleaned_path}")
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

Notes on os_sync

• The os_sync parameter allows you to specify the operating system for additional validation checks.
• If not provided, the validator will not default to any OS. Because it is possible in a lot of cloud storage systems to only read / write files to their systems without ever syncing up the file storage to an operating system.
