Class FileUtils

Supply a file name for the class object.

Typical uses:

fn = filename()             ---> <default_filename>
fn = filename('name.ext')   ---> 'name'
fn = filename(ext='pickle') ---> <default_filename>'.pickle'
fn = filename('name.inp','pdf') --> 'name.pdf'
fn = filename('foo.pdf',ext='png',use_my_ext=True) --> 'foo.pdf'

The returned filename is stripped of the extension (use_my_ext=False) and if provided, another extension is appended. Chooses a default if no filename is given.

Raises a ValueError exception if no default file name is known.

If set_default=True then the default filename is also set.

use_my_ext=True lets the suffix of a provided filename take priority over a default ext tension.

If a file exists then continue with the action specified in ``resolve``.

``resolve`` must be one of

"ignore"
      always return ``False``
"indicate"
      return ``True`` if it exists
"warn"
      indicate and issue a :exc:`UserWarning`
"exception"
      raise :exc:`IOError` if it exists

Alternatively, set *force* for the following behaviour (which
ignores *resolve*):

``True``
      same as *resolve* = "ignore" (will allow overwriting of files)
``False``
      same as *resolve* = "exception" (will prevent overwriting of files)
``None``
      ignored, do whatever *resolve* says
