Can't you use beforeLast(), after()?

@nicolas-grekas thank you for your response!

Can't you use beforeLast(), after()?

I don't think so (not sure I understand these methods with their edge cases correctly?)

To stay in my example:
If I understand it correctly, I can do a after() to get the relative path (or the full path, if after() didn't find a match). So I can correctly strip the $basePath.

However, in case the after() found something, I need to prepend it with a . and it doesn't seem that I have this info?

So iiuc I would need to do this:

$prefix = $path->startsWith($basePath) ? "." : "";
$path = $path->after($basePath)->prepend($prefix);

Which is arguably even less readable?

Thank you for this suggestion.

I would still like to see it, as I find the proposed solution highly confusing.

@carsonbot unchanged, yes. 😊

Solved by #43481:

use this:

u('file-image-0001.png')->trimPrefix('file-')->prepend('file-');
