Method FindPath

tree/nodebase.go:272–286

FindPath returns the node at the given path from this node. FindPath only works correctly when names are unique. The given path must be consistent with the format produced by [NodeBase.PathFrom]. There is also support for index-based access (ie: [0] for the first child) for cases where indexes are m

(path string)

// are more useful than names. It returns nil if no node is found
// at the given path.
func (n *NodeBase) FindPath(path string) Node {
	curn := n.This
	pels := strings.Split(strings.Trim(strings.TrimSpace(path), "\""), "/")
	for _, pe := range pels {

			continue
		}
		idx := findPathChild(curn, UnescapePathName(pe))
		if idx < 0 {

		curn = curn.AsTree().Children[idx]
	}
	return curn
}

// findPathChild finds the child with the given string representation in [NodeBase.FindPath].
