Browse the File path selection in the selection screen

I want to give the user the option to browse his/her desktop and selct a file path and windows name by clicking on a drop down.
How do I do that?
Thank you in advance

hi ,
there are so many function modules which will provide F4 Help for the path.
Suppose you have given a parameter name path.
You have to use these FMs in the event
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR path.
Example :
data : C_FNH_MASK TYPE DXFIELDS-FILEMASK VALUE '.',
SEARCH_DIR TYPE DXFIELDS-LONGPATH VALUE '/SAPGLOBAL/USERS',
      FILE_PATH LIKE DXFIELDS-LONGPATH.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR path.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'
    EXPORTING
      I_LOCATION_FLAG = 'P'
      I_SERVER        = ' '
      I_PATH          = SEARCH_DIR
      FILEMASK        = C_FNH_MASK
      FILEOPERATION   = 'R'
    IMPORTING
      O_PATH          = PATH
    EXCEPTIONS
      RFC_ERROR       = 1
      OTHERS          = 2.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'
    EXPORTING
      I_LOCATION_FLAG = 'A'
      I_SERVER        = ' '
      I_PATH          = SEARCH_DIR
      FILEMASK        = C_FNH_MASK
      FILEOPERATION   = 'R'
    IMPORTING
      O_PATH          = FILE_PATH
    EXCEPTIONS
      RFC_ERROR       = 1
      OTHERS          = 2.
If you remove 'P' and put 'A', then it is used for application server F4 help.
you have F4_FILENAMEand F4_FILENAME_SERVER for presentation and application servers respectively
Reward points if helpful.
Thanks and Regards.

FM to select the file path for download into application server

File browse : How to keep the file path in the file browse field?

Hello,
I have
1) file browse field called P2_FILE_PATH.
2) a select list with submit : P2_REGION
If i upload some file d:\abc.gif , then select some region in the P2_REGION,
P2_FILE_PATH will become empty. But in the session, i can find the blob value. but not the "d:\abc.gif "
Using the following script I could capture the value of P2_FILE_PATH in a field
P2_TEST.
onload="javascript:document.getElementById(P2_FILE_PATH').value = document.getElementById('P2_TEST').value;"
P2_TEST contains d:\abc.gif .
How to retain the file path, though some other field is selected and submitted?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Archana

Hello Archana,
You can't do what you want because of some HTML security restrictions – nothing to do with APEX. As you found out, You can capture the value of this item. You can't set it. After submitting the page, the browser is the one to clear the item.
The only workaround is to work with AJAX and not submit the page until the end of the user input phase.

Getting the file path from a File browse button

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to extract the whole file path (not just the file name) from a file which is selected using a file browse button?
I am trying to save the file path as text in my database (I don't want to upload the file). I have linked the file browse object to a table field in the database. But when entered in the database, all I get is a series of random characters, followed by the file name. I would like to have the complete file path instead.
Tom

Hi thanks
I've placed the java script into the head of the page, but unsure as to how to change the taget url for my submit button from doSubmit('SUBMIT') to doPrepareAndSubmit('SUBMIT'). In fact I don't actually have a submit button, but a save new record (which performs an SQL INSERT into the database using the values contained in the fields on the page) or a update record buttons instead.
I'm sorry but my knowledge of java scripts is not very good either.
How do I do the follwoing?: if your submit button has not any target set its target to url:
javascript: doPrepareAndSubmit('SUBMIT')
Cheers, Tom

How to force the File Path Control Browser button to the RT Target instead of the host machine?

I am building an application on a RT PXI system, and for one of the functions I would like the user to be able to use the browser button of the File Path Control to choose a directory on the PXI. However the browser button seems to only want open a file on the host PC, even though the application is fully deployed on the target. Note that I am controlling the PXI from a host PC.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is not a VI to do this. Are you browsing to these files from your host VI? In order to access the files on your PXI RT target, you'll need to FTP in and browse to them that way. You could programmatically do this, but there is not a simple VI to do so.

Finder > Applications or Documents
Click "View" menu in the menu bar and select " as Columns"

Issue with Getting the file path from InputFile component

Hi,
One of our requirement is like below:
I am working on ADF 11g (latest release R1) page. User will select the file and when he/she clicks on the Save button we need to store the file path in the database.
In the database file_path is varchar2(300). We need to store just the file path. I am using InputFile component but filepath is not getting inserted.
This is really urgent. It would be really appreciate if anyone can guide me on this.
Thanks
MC

Hi Mahesh,
I have manage to store the file path from the InputFile component in Jdev 11g. I found the file upload script from this forum and manage to alter it so that i could save the file path to the database. But my problem is to retrieve it back to view as a document. Hope this will help you :)

tanda = tanda + 1;
System.out.println("tanda"+ tanda);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();

How can I make Spotlight show the file path

How can I make Spotlight show the file path in the Spotlight menu for selected file?

Via Finder certainly, but not in the menu. You can view the file path in the Spotlight search results display by pressing the ⌘ key (while hovering over a file in the results), though. The path will display at the bottom of the Quick Look output, or cycle through that location.

Sorting the view using the file path.

I would like to be able to sort my music library using the full file path (directory name) as this sorts it in the way I have setup my files.

Unfortunately you can only sort using columns that iTunes will display in the browser window; file path is not one of those.
If you have any programming experience you can use an external program to generate a playlist sorted by path, but you still won't be able to display the path in the iTunes window. That is, unless your external program also does something like put the path in the comment field. I guess if the program does that, you can display the comment field and sort using iTunes.

How to get the file path in adf application

hii all,
i have a txt file that i am using in my adf application,
i am passing this txt file through a File Reader, for which i have to mention the file path.
The file is in web-content and when i am hard coding the complete file path i.e C:/JDeveloper/myApp/ViewController/public_html/log.txt
the application is working fine when run on integrated weblogic server.
My requirement is to access this file without giving the static file path, as in case i have to use this application on any other machine..
for that how to mention the file path-
i tried using FacesContext to get the context path :-
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestContextPath();
which gives me
\myApp-ViewController-context-root
after appending public_html\log.txt
I am using the following path to access the file :-
\myApp-ViewController-context-root\public_html\log.txt
again i am getting the java.io.FileNotFoundException
Does anyone know how to use file from inside the web-content without giving the complete path..???
Thanks

Hi,
If you put your file under public_html folder, you can use this code to access the file:
For example file is : log.txt
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath('/log.txt').toString().trim();
Thanks.

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.

SSIS - Loop through files from a file path based on the value in the variable

Experts,
I have a requirement where I'll be loading multiple files in to a SQL server table and archive the files when loaded. However, the challenge is , the file path should be dynamic based on the value of a variable (say, @ProductName).
For example: If I am running the package for variable @ProductName="Product", the file path would be "\\....\Src\Product", in that case the ForEachLoop will loop through all the files in that folder, load them to the table and Archive
the files to the "\\....\Src\Product\Archive" folder.
Similarly, if the @ProductName="Product_NCP", the foreachloop container should loop through files in the "\\....\Src\Product_NCP" folder, load them to the table and archive them to the ""\\....\Src\Product_NCP\Archive"
folder.
Any suggestions? I should be able to run the package manually just by passing the "@Product" value, create Archive folder if it doesn't exist, load the data and archive the files.

Yes
1. Have a variable inside SSIS to get folder path. Set path based on your rule using an expression
like
(@[User::ProductName] == "Product" ? "\\....\Src\Product" : (@[User::ProductName] == "Product_NCP" ? \\....\Src\Product_NCP:..))
similary archive
(@[User::ProductName] == "Product" ? "\\....\Src\Product\Archive" : (@[User::ProductName] == "Product_NCP" ? "\\....\Src\Product_NCP\Archive" :..))

Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from? 65000 files trying to be transferrd from external to internal HD. I dont want itunes to manage my collection, just read it. thanks

Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from?
I have about 65000 music files that i have transferrd from my external to a new laptop internal HD.
I have organised the folders myself as I use a PC and do not want itunes to organise the folders because when I'm searching through music on windows it is sorted out by artists/albums with 'the...(eg The Beatles)' under 'T' instead of 'B'.
Long story short.... Is there any way that I can keep my itunes library as it is on the external HD and copy it to the new laptops C drive, keep all the info (playlists etc) and still have the same folder structure as on the external HD?
Or, is there any way of making windows sort things in alphabetical order like it is in itunes (eliminating the 'the' issue)?

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.
