UKismetSystemLibrary::NormalizeFilename
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPureBlueprintThreadSafe
Description
Converts all forward and backward slashes in a path to a single consistent forward-slash form, useful before comparing or hashing paths.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Purely a string transform — it does not resolve `..`/`.` segments, make the path absolute, or verify the path exists.
- • Marked BlueprintThreadSafe, so it's safe to call off the game thread.
- • Useful as a pre-step before string-comparing two paths that may have come from different OSes (Windows backslashes vs. Unix forward slashes).
