Can JFileChooser file name field return all entered chars

In JFileChooser, if I want to get all entered characters from file name field, is there a method I can call?
I used method chooserUI.getFileName() or chooser.getSelectedFile(). These two methods returned texts which missed back slash and forward slash. I want to get everything what I entered in file name field. I searched and read related JFileChooser topic, but there isn't a topic about this. Can any of you know what I can do?
Thank you very much.

JFileChooser isn't for entering text, it's for selecting files. If you put for example "abc/def" in the filename box, it's going to interpret that as "file def in directory abc" and your getFileName() will return "def". (You'll notice that getFileName() doesn't return the directory path, just the filename part of it, right?)

JFileChooser "File Name" field

Hi,
I am trying to use a JFileChooser as a component within a JDialog, and everything works fine, except that I do not understand how I can get the value of a filename typed into the "File Name:" field on the form. I've read the "JFileChooser" Java doco about five times and I can't see anything that would give me access to this field. GetName() appears to be a red herring.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim

Thanks for your swift reply.
Unfortunately perhaps I wasn't quite clear - I have added the JFileChooser as a component to a JDialog, not run it standalone via showDialog() or similar.
I am trying to get the user to select a directory and type a file name that a new file can be saved into.
Here is the code that displays the chooser:
   private JPanel saveFilePnl(String folder)
      JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
      panel.add(new JLabel("<html>Select the folder to save the new sequence into,<br>" +
                           "and type in an appropriate File Name:<br>"),"North");
      saveFileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File(folder));
      SimpleFileFilter filter = new SimpleFileFilter("xml", "Nucleotide Sequences");
      saveFileChooser.setFileFilter(filter);
      saveFileChooser.setControlButtonsAreShown(false);
      saveFileChooser.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder
                            (BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(),
                             BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(8,8,8,8) ));
      panel.add(saveFileChooser, "Center");
      return panel;
}This panel is added to a card on a CardLayout JDialog. After the user selects a folder and types in a filename I want to verify that they have done so before moving on to the next card. So I need to ensure that there is a name in the "File Name:" field on the chooser.
Thanks,
Tim

How Does The Browser Know The "File Name" field in the "Save As" dialog

Hi!
I have a servlet called co.com.SomeStaff who reads a binary file from the server an sends it to the breowser.
The Browser opens the "Save As" Dialog whith the value "co.com.SomeStaff" in the File name field, but and I need the name "SomeBinariFile.exe" instead.
How can I change that value?
Thanks All.

Use <%
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=filename.2save");
%>

I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field(prefix only) while saving files.

OS: WinXP sp3
FF: 3.6.3
I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field (prefix only) while saving files. example: File name is Pic123.jpg and I want to rename it ABC123.jpg and I have ABC loaded into the WinXPsp3 clipboard. When I highlight\right-click\delete "Pic" then attempt to paste the ABC, I get either no reaction, or upon multiple paste attempts, the ABC is appended to the end of the file, after the extension, as "Pic123.jpgABC". If I delete this unwanted suffix, or repeat the process several times, eventually I can delete the unwanted portion of the prefix and paste the desired text. Sometimes it works fine first try, but mostly it takes several tries. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 but the problem existed in whatever previous version I had too. This issue only occurs when using the delete/paste; I can always manually change the name by typing. Thank you for your help.

File name field not generating dynamic file name for report printing

Hello Folks,
I have a report region on a page and have enabled report printing. I would like to have the file name generated dynamically. So, I add the substitution string, say "&P1_CUSTOMER_NAME." (no quotes). The output file I get is literally named "&P1_CUSTOMER_NAME..pdf" (no quotes).
I have seen several posts suggesting the file name field should accept this syntax but, I cannot get it to work.
We are running Application Express 3.2.0.00.27 and BI Publisher.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
-Markus B.

I was finally able to make it work using a page process and the APEX_UTIL.DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT with a submit button.

LabVIEW 2011 file selection fails to fill in the file name into the "File name:" field

In LV2011 I am selecting a text file while my code is running. The "file name:" field is not populated with the selected file name.
This is inconvenient, especially if I want to modify a file name by one or some few characters.
How do i make LV 2011 behave like the previous versions?

Thank you fot your reply it causd me to find the problem.
I figured it out while I was trying to extract the applicable section of my code to send it to you.
I had an asterisc wired to the "default name" input of the "File dialog" VI.
Now I am not wiring anything to the "default name" input of the "File dialog" VI and it works just fine.
I am sorry for your lost time.

FileChooser - "switch off" file name field and file type drop down choice..

Hi there,
I'm wondering, is there a simple way of not displaying the file name field and file type drop down choice that anyone knows of?
Reason being; my FileChooser is embedded in an application window and does not pop up as a dialog - the users are only acessing one file type, but it could be in any folder on their machine.
many thanks,
Fergus.

How do you add File name to returned forms as a field

I'm sure this can be done just not sure how, I have begun a database using returned forms but want a field/footer at bottom of page showing the file name of the returned form so that each returned form can be identified easier for the purpose of the database. That is when I look up the dataset file I wouls like file name as one of the fields. The files use the format Sub Defect Form (1), Sub Defect Form (2), Sub Defect Form (3) etc etc. It is this file name I want to include in the dataset information and as a field on the bottom of the returned form. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Now it's taking hours for emails.
Not good.

How can I insert the file name automatically on all pages?

I would like that on all pages of my keynote presentations the file name is inserted automatically in a footer as eg in EXCEL and Word.

Oh yeah! Very similar to that one is Print Window. I use it all the time.

It costs $20 if you want all the extra features the free version doesn't have. But I've always used the free version. Nothing in the paid version I need.

JFileChooser file name extention queistion

hi i would like to know if it is possible to place a file extention in the filename section when you open the save dialog. So as when the user types a file name in the file extention is added automaticly to only allow the user to save in .png. My code is as follows.
private void screenshot()
          /** currently no dialog to confirm action as remains
          on screen when saving screenshot! **/
          int status;
          JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
          fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
          try {
                    Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit ().getScreenSize ());
                    BufferedImage image = new Robot().createScreenCapture(rect);
                    try {
                         fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new PNGFilter());
                        status = fc.showSaveDialog(information);
                        if(status == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                        File selFile = fc.getSelectedFile();
                        ImageIO.write(image, "png", selFile);
                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(information, "File saved to "+ selFile);
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                              Error.SaveError(e);
                    catch (AWTException e) {
                         Error.AbstractWindowToolkit(e);
}

You can always check selFile's name, and if it
doesn't end with .png replace it
with a new File with the same name, but with .png
added on.Thanks for that. I have done just that and it works great now.
if(getExtension(selFile).equals("NO_EXTENSION"))
                           selFile = new File(selFile.toString() + ".png");
                       }

Can long file names survive OSX to OS9 to OSX?

This computer has dual boot capability, but since owning it I haven't actually booted to OS9 and have used it extensively with Tiger. I know OSX supports much longer file names than OS9. I recall back when I used both OS9 and OSX computers if I took a file created under OSX and looked at the directory under OS9 that all the long file names were truncated and/or encoded at the end (I never did it the other way around and always stuck with short names on all the files I used on both systems). Now I'm wondering if I boot to OS9 and then boot back to OSX if something permanent will happen to my long file names. Will they survive a passive journey but not if I actually open them with something, such as all my music files if I have them in SoundJam? A simple answer probably, but maybe I can get an answer here rather than the "backup, try it, and see" method.

Will they survive a passive journey
Yes.
if I actually open them with something, such as all my music files if I have them in SoundJam?
It depends on whether the application supports long file names; if not, the file's actual name will become set to the encoded name upon copying or modification of the file, and the application may not be able to access it. Using a Disk Copy version that doesn't support long file names to convert a disk image containing them without resizing the image will preserve them.

When downloading a file, only the first word of the attached file is included in the 'file name' field, not the entire file name, as it used to.

Regardless of filetype, only the first word of the file is filled into the "Enter name of file to save to..." dialog box. I'm set up to 'save file' in the FF Options > Applications tab for the basic MS and Adobe files. To successfully use/find the downloaded file, I type in the remainder of the file name. Have I overlooked an additional setting? Running FF 18.0 on a Win7 PC.

Using Spry.Data.XMLDataSet. Can xml file name be set to change on calendar date?

I have a website that uses Spry Data XML DataSet to list common pests for the current month. http://www.shspestcontrol.com/
Each month's list of pests is in a separate xml file (e.g. pests-august.xml)
Rather than manually updating the file name each month, can it be setup to automatically change the name
For instance on January 1st, file name changes to pests-january.xml, Feb 1st changes to pests-february.xml. etc.
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Any advice if this can be done and if so how to go about doing it would be much appreciated
Thanks, Toni

<script>
var dsPests1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("pests-september.xml", "gallery/pests/pest");
function setPestsFile(){
    var months = new Array(13);
        months[0] = "january";
        months[1] = "february";
        months[2] = "march";
        months[3] = "april";
        months[4] = "may";
        months[5] = "june";
        months[6] = "july";
        months[7] = "august";
        months[8] = "september";
        months[9] = "october";
        months[10] = "november";
        months[11] = "december";
    var now = new Date();
    var monthnumber = now.getMonth();
    var monthname = months[monthnumber];
    dsPests1.setURL("pests-"+monthname+".xml");
    dsPests1.loadData();
