Compares the two paths you specify and returns information about whether the two paths share a common path.

connector_pane_image
datatype_icon

path 1

First path you specify.

datatype_icon

path 2

Second path you specify.

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error error in contains an error
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.

If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.

If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

datatype_icon

relative path from 1 to 2

Relative path you have to take on disk to get from path 1 to path 2.

datatype_icon

common path

Part of the absolute path that path 1 shares with path 2.

datatype_icon

path 2 relative to path 1?

A Boolean that indicates whether the two paths share a common path.

True The two paths are identical, or share a common path.
False The two paths do not share a common path.
datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
