Checking for file extensions

I have a form that I want to submit a csv file to, however I would like to check the file to make sure that it is indeed .csv before I perform the task that I need to do
*****************Example***********************
form.html
<form name=vo_verify action=verify.jsp method=post>
<input type=file>
<input type=submit>
</form>
verify.jsp
return true == .csv
return false != .csv

Could you do a check for the substring within the filename?
Like,
String filename = (String)request.getParameter("file");
int index = filename.indexOf(".csv");
if (index == -1) do something; //extension .csv not found
else do something else;
There might be a better way to do this, but this should work I think.
Also, bdtjdc was just trying to help, which is what this forum is for. :)

  • Checking for files in a folder -- Wrong output

    Hi guys,
    I'm writing a simple program, I have to check for 6 files (hardcoded, they will never change) if they are in certain directories/paths.
    The problem is, I think I have a problem in my IF statements, because it continueally returns false.
    The paths are on networked drives, does that make a difference?
    I'm rather stuck on this one, any help would be appreaciated.
    (some paths/file names have been replaced by "xxxxxxxxx", for security)

    You could try using the File.exists() method.
    The paths are on networked drives, does that make a difference?Try the above on a local file and a networked file.
    I'm writing a simple program, Actually a simple program would be something like:
    File file = new File("xxx");
    System.out.println(file.exists());No need to include all the code you posted.

  • Pacman hanging on "checking for file conflicts"

    I've tried running pacman -Syu on my laptop and pacman is simply hanging at the checking for file conflicts stage.  I've let it sit for several minutes, but it never seems to get past that stage.  The list of packages to be updated isn't long:
    Targets (5): bison-2.6.2-1 chromium-21.0.1180.75-1 flex-2.5.37-1 libldap-2.4.32-1 lm_sensors-3.3.2-4
    This is being done on a laptop that was only recently rebuilt with a new Arch install using the latest installation media.  The install went well and previous updates have worked with no problems.

    I'm glad you solved the problem but "pacman -Scc" shouldn't be necessary and makes it more difficult to recover in a variety of situations. You can always re-download old packages but having them in your cache makes it easy to roll something back and makes it possible to do this without, for example, a working network connection. I installed in November and I've never even run "pacman -Sc" let alone "pacman -Scc". (Though I have trimmed the cache to free up disk space using, I think, paccache.)

  • Checking for file conflicts: could not get filesystem information

    When I try to install a new package with pacman 4 I got the following warning just after pacman has done "checking for file conflicts":
    warning: could not get filesystem information for /var/lib/ntp/etc/resolv.conf (deleted): No such file or directory
    After the warning message is printed, the installation continues normally.  This warning message has never shown up before.
    I have ntpd running in a chroot as a non-root user (instructions).
    I am wondering if anyone else gets the same warning message and if this 'problem' can be solved.
    I forgot to say: the file is still there according to ls and is not empty, but the contents differs form the /etc/resolv.conf-file.

    I'm not sure how to do that or I do not know exactly what you mean.

    extra/archboot
    But you probably already knew that.
    Running pacman with the --debug option did not gave me any more clues.  All I know now, is that this message is printed when the moundpoints are examined:

  • [solved] pacman 4 hangs after "checking for file conflicts"

    Like others, I removed yaourt and package-query because they conflicted with pacman4... not worried about that, I'll reinstall them later.
    I put the new pacman.conf in place (my old one wasn't really customized).  I left SigLevel = Never.
    Now, I can run pacman -Sy fine, but if I try to install anything, I it just hangs:

    This is my third attempt.  I let it run yesterday for 20 hours on the theory that maybe it was actually doing something.  It always completes "checking for file conflicts" but never goes any further.
    Does anyone have any suggestions how to get it to continue?

  • No OK Button For File Extension In Preferances! Help!

  • Check the file extension in the selection screen

    hi,
    in the selection screen i am giving a file path. the file should be of type PDF only.
    how to validate it ?
    i am splitting the file path at "." and checking for the last three letters , if it pdf or not.
    but it is throwing error for pdf format also.
    throw some light on it and let me know.
    thanks  and regards.

    hi,
    You need to pass only COMPLETE_FILENAME
    say C:\ABC\A\ABC.TXT
    data  : v_filename type PCFILE-PATH.
    v_filename = "C:\ABC\A\ABC.TXT".
      CALL FUNCTION 'PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME'
           EXPORTING
                COMPLETE_FILENAME = v_FILENAME
           IMPORTING
                DRIVE             = v_DRIVE
                EXTENSION         = v_EXTENSION
                 NAME              = v_name
                 NAME_WITH_EXT     = v_namewithtxt
                PATH              = PATH_VALUE
            EXCEPTIONS
                 INVALID_DRIVE     = 1
                 INVALID_EXTENSION = 2
                 INVALID_NAME      = 3
                 INVALID_PATH      = 4
                 OTHERS            = 5.
    you will get the output as
    DRIVE                           C     
    EXTENSION                   TXT   
    NAME                            ABC   
    NAME_WITH_EXT          ABC.TXT

  • Support for file extensions with more than three characters when saving - I want my FLAC!

    Why does the Wave Editor still drop characters from filenames with more than three character extensions when you save a file? But since -opening- a FLAC file with an extension of ".flac" doesn't get chopped to ".fla", why does Audition still chop off the extra character when -saving-?
    It gets old quickly when you have to save, close and reopen files in order to get Audition's Multitrack editor to play nice and be able to find files when you reopen the Session.
    Given that the FLAC filter is open source, I may just have to modify the code and recompile it to force a save to ".fla"... But of course, ".fla" is a Flash file extension, which I also use, so that is a crude hack for me.

    Hi bro...
    use in BYTE mode in place of in TEXT mode. and at the end of each line give some special charactor so as to distinguish between lines.This is effected  by unicode check too

  • CS5, checked "save file extensions as small case letters" but still capital, why?

    hi,
    i installed CS5 4 weeks ago, since this time, i never got a file extension in small case letters, only capital letters ( xxx.TIF ). why?
    i checked it in preferences, see enclosed screenshot... i never had this problem in CS4.
    it would be important for myself, when saving files, that alle extensions are small case letters, like xxx.psd or xxx.eps
    usually i rename these extensions manually, cause i am uploading final images to PC servers, which
    cant recognize capital letters, i presume....

    no, i am still dealing with this problem on both macs,
    mac pro mid 2010 2,8 quad (24GB RAM) and my mbp 15" i7 (4GB RAM)
    where i installed Photoshop CS5.
    on both macs, photoshop always saves files with capital letter file extensions (xxx.TIF or xxx.PSD)
    thats very annoying, as i have to manually rename the file in the finder later.
    and thats for all files i create.
    i really wonder, could anyone from the adobe staff please comment if it is a bug
    or anything else?
    thanks!

  • Checking for files using infoview

    Hi
    I am new to use Infoview in BO. In my project they are scheduling CR in infoview for a particular time. now new requirement is :
    On nightly basis files will be send for each region.once they are loaded message will be generated using script in unix. Now my part is to login to the unix server and check for the message(access to the path will be provided. message may be content in file or may be a touch file.not my part) and the schedule timing through infoview and should run the report.
    To schedule report for a particular time i went into schedule option and given database details where CR is present,destination details to where it need to be ftped and the format of output and timine on which the report need to be run.
    But i dont know the process how to login to unix server and check for message.
    Please let me know is there any option for the baove requirement in infoview.

  • Use thread to check for file exists. How?

    public class FileSearcher extends Thread
         String name = "Unknown";
         //RunFileSearcher rfs = new RunFileSearcher(name);
         //FileSearcher rfs = new FileSearcher(name);
         File f = new File();
         Thread t = new Thread(); // create  the thread
         t.start(); // start the thread running
         public void run(name)
              if( f.exists(name) )
                   System.out.println("*** File " + f + " has been created. ***");
              else
                   System.out.println("Searching for file " + f) ;
    }How do I use each thread to check for each file exists per sec??
    Please Help Thanks

    1) Why are you using Threads?
    2) It is preferrable to implement Runnable.
    3) This is all incredibly pointless (see point 1)

  • Authorization check  for files.

    Hi
    All,
    Which function module would you use to check the users authorization to access files before opening a file ?
    Thanks N Regards
    Priya.

    Hi,
    If your requirement is for application server files I wouldn't use a function module at all.  I would use the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK with the object S_DATASET.
