{{Function
|name=fs.combine
|args={{Type|string}} basePath, {{Type|string}} localPath
|api=fs
|returns={{Type|string}} the combined path
|desc=Combines two path components, returning a path consisting of the local path nested inside the base path. The resultant path consists of all the components of <var>localPath</var> inside all the components of <var>basePath</var>. Neither path needs to exist; this function only manipulates strings and does not touch the filesystem.
|examples=
{{Example
|desc=Computes the absolute path to a file called "d" inside a directory called "c", where "c" is itself inside a directory "b" which is inside a directory "a"
|code=print(fs.combine("a/b", "c/d"))
|output=a/b/c/d
}}
{{Example
|desc=An empty first path refers to the root directory, so the second path is returned
|code=print(fs.combine("", "c/d"))
|output=c/d
}}
{{Example
|desc=An empty second path refers to the first path directly, so the first path is returned
|code=print(fs.combine("a/b", ""))
|output=a/b
}}
{{Example
|desc=The last two examples make sense combined, returning the empty string (referring to the root directory)
|code=print(fs.combine("", ""))
|output=
}}
