Abstract
A method for selecting a storage path in a file system is presented. The method may provide a matching table to correlate a character pattern with at least one storage path in a file system. A file name including one or more character patterns may be received and the character pattern may be identified. The character pattern may then be correlated with the storage path according to the matching table. Finally, the storage path may be selected to store a file associated with the file name.

A method for selecting a storage path in a file system, the method comprising:
- providing a matching table to correlate a character pattern with at least one storage path in a file system;
- receiving a file name comprising at least one character pattern;
- identifying the character pattern;
- correlating the character pattern with the at least one storage path according to the matching table;
- and
- selecting the at least one storage path to store a file associated with the file name.
An apparatus for selecting a storage path in a file system, the apparatus comprising:
- a file system to provide a matching table to correlate a character pattern with at least one storage path in a file system;
- a file system explorer to receive a file name comprising at least one character pattern;
- and
- a file save component to identify the character pattern, correlate the character pattern with the at least one storage path according to the matching table, and select the at least one storage path to store a file associated with the file name.
A computer program product for selecting a storage path in a file system, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer-usable medium having computer-usable program code embodied therein, the computer-usable program code comprising:
- computer-usable program code for providing a matching table to correlate a character pattern with at least one storage path in a file system;
- computer-usable program code for receiving a file name comprising at least one character pattern;
- computer-usable program code for identifying the character pattern;
- computer-usable program code for correlating the character pattern with the at least one storage path according to the matching table;
- and
- computer-usable program code for selecting the at least one storage path to store a file associated with the file name.
