Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(#2004): Change path_relative to use string find and
 substring to avoid using regex.

- This removed the original gsub with unintentional captures in path_to_matching_str
- The original regex based code captures create a limit where input path cannot
  have more than 32 special charactors ( `.`  , `_` or `-`)
