Creating an absolute path

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to save data points to an excel file and I kept getting the error:
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: The path is empty or relative. You must use an absolute path.
tc_cral(\usfile01)\Common\High Strain Rate\Test.csv
I'm kind of lost on this issue at the moment and have tried to look up some definition of what a relative and absolute path means. I must not be fully understanding the definition so if anyone can 'dumb' it down for me I'd appreciate it. I have also attached the top level vi image of the section where I'm trying to save the data points.
Solved!

This question has nothing to do with the topic. You really should have started a new thread.
But that module is the Boolean Crossing PtbyPt. The help explains it pretty well.

Absolute paths in coldfusion

I'm using <img src="

in order to create an absolute path to an image. It doesn't seem to
work. But when I replace "#CGI.Server_Name# " with "localhost:8500"
it seems to work. Does anyone know why "#CGI.Server_Name# doesn't
seem to work? Is this a deprecated command? Thanks much~

I think if you have a look @ the value of CGI.server_name,
and compare it
to "localhost:8500", you might answer your own question.

How can you determine the absolute path to a dynamically created NetStream object?

We are trying to implement video captioning with a freeware component, ccforflash. This requires us to provide an absolute or relative path to our NetStream object. How can we determine this path in Flash CS5 AS3?
From the CCforFlashCS5 documentation:
"2. Object name and path
Type the name and path. This is the instance name of the object with which CCforFlashAS3 will synchronize. It must be spelled correctly, since CCforFlashAS3 will query the object with this name for timing information in order to synchronize the captions. The path must also be included; either relative to the CCforFlashAS3 component (i.e. this.parent) or the absolute path from the main level of the movie (root)."

It would be easier if the NetStream object was created on an easily identifiable place on the timeline. This player has an MVC architecture. The NetStream object is created in a subclass to Model class, which is itself a subclass of the EventDispatcher object. The View class access it via an interface.
As you can guess, it's not that straightforward to determine where the NetStream object is located on the timeline. This is compounded by the fact that the NetStream object does not have a name property.
I've tried methods like these, but they only work for the DisplayObject class:
public static function displayObjectPath( avDisplayObject : DisplayObject ) :String
var lvPath:String = "";
do
if( avDisplayObject.name ) {
// var obj_name:String = (avDisplayObject.name == 'root1') ? 'root' : avDisplayObject.name;
if (avDisplayObject.name != 'root1') {
lvPath = avDisplayObject.name
+ ( lvPath == "" ? "" : "." + lvPath );
} else {
trace("displayObjectPath() NO NAME avDisplayObject="+avDisplayObject);
} while( avDisplayObject = avDisplayObject.parent );
return lvPath;
} // displayObjectPath
private function showChildren(d:DisplayObjectContainer):void {
trace("showChildren()");
if (d.numChildren>0) {
for (var c:Number = 0; c < d.numChildren; c++) {
trace("showChildren c=",c," name=",d.getChildAt(c).name);

Read BMP File Requires Absolute Path

I noticed something today regarding the Graphics Formats, Read JPG File, Read PNG File and Read BMP File vi's. It seems that when reading a JPG or PNG file, a relative path is OK, but when reading a BMP file, an absolute path is required. When the path only contains the filename, it returns:
Error 1430
"Open/Create/Replace File in Read BMP File Data.vi->Read BMP File.vi->ReadImageFileTest.vi"
I tried a simple test that uses either the relative or absolute path, trying to read 3 different files in the same directory as the VI. Only the Read BMP File errors. Of course, the simple work around is to always use the full pathname to a file. Is this only on my system? Is this a known bug or feature or expected behavior?
I'm using LabVIEW 8.2 on Windows XP.
Thanks!

How to get rejected file absolute path location in file rejection handler

HI,
Right now I am working in the below scenario in SOA11G.
1) Create a file adapter service and wire it to a BPEL process.
2) Create a Fault-policies file where we have referred a Java Action as a Fault policy.
3) Refer that fault-policy to the Fault-Binding file and put both the file in the same directory with composite.xml file.
4) So when any rejection message happened with any wrong incoming file, the Java Action is getting called.
But as per my requirement I want to get the absolute path of the incoming file in my java action, so that I can write some other logic to copy that file to some other location.
So is there any API available to achieve this or any logic about how to get the absolute path of a rejected file at runtime.
Regards,
Tripathy.

Hi Omar,
You need to use OPEN_DATASET & READ DATASET statements to get the file from application server.
Steps:
Open dataset in read mode
Read the data set and collect into internal table
Now, convert this into XSTRING by using function module SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING
After converting into XSTRING, you can use CL_WD_RUNTIME_SERVICES=>ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE to download into local system
Please refer the below links
Upload File from SAP Application Server using ABAP

Hope this helps you.

PDX index - how to remove absolute path to it?

I have a PDF and using File > Properties > Document Properties > Advanced tab have browsed to a Search Index, and added it to the PDF (I've added a big Search button that the user can press to search the entire, large, collection of PDFs).
The search index path that the Browse form puts in the Search Index: field points to a location on our network e.g. \\Server1\application\PDFs\index.pdx
This works fine when I'm running it locally, but when the PDF + index gets installed on a PC outside of our network the user gets a error telling them that it can't load the index.
I want to edit the path in the Search Index: field so that it is relative e.g. PDFs\index.pdx (the same location as the PDFs and the index file + folder), but the Search Index: field is greyed out and uneditable! I seem to be stuck with a useless absolute path.
Question: Is there any way of making the path to the PDF relative and not absolute? We need to put the PDF collection onto our software distribution DVD, and the customers will install it to their own PCs/network locations.
(I'm using Acrobat Pro X ver 10.1.8 on Windows 7 Ultimate SP 1, and the target audience will be using Acrobat Reader)

I think the problem is kinda fixed.
I created the library and index on a network drive and created a "start PDF" file at the same location. I opened the "start" file and used Ctrl-D > Advanced > Search index to add the name of the .pdx file.
I emailed the "start file" to someone else on the network. They downloaded it and double clicked it.
* They happened to be using the new 2015 Pro DC version. The message about the index associated with this document (...) could not be located. appeared. The path was expecting the .pdx file to be below the download directory.
* I clicked OK.
* Pressed Ctrl-Shift-F for advanced search.
* Clicked Show more options (because that user had never used Advanced Search) - and the index file was displayed in the look in field.
* Entered a search term and it worked perfectly.
I retested it using a Dropbox location. Created the "start PDF" file and emailed another person, not on the same network, but sees the same Dropbox folder. They use Acrobay XI v.11.0.10.
* The file was downloaded and double-clicked.
* Pressed Ctril-Shift-F - same index could not be located message - and again the .pdx file was assumed to below the download directory. But nothing auto-magically fixed itself.
The only solution here is to provide user with a link to the .pdx file on their desktop. When they double clicked it, Acrobat opens with the index loaded.
(Depending on the user, the other alternative is to add the index to the index list.)

Absolute path to E:\Hudson in org.flexunit.assert() etc

Hi there,
I'm attempting to use flexrunner in a linux project. So far everything has been smoothly, thanks. Just pached my SDK vith linux air 2.6 runtimes and ran (a slightly modified) demo project. It seems like there is a build in path to E:\hudson .... in the flexunit-4.1.0.8-flex_4.1.0.16076.swc file is there a way to get the source for this project and build the libraries ensuring that I get the correct path set?
Platfrom: Ubuntu 10.04
ant: 1.8.x
flex sdk: 4.5.1 pached with linux air 2.6 runtimes
flexunit: 4.1.0-8
absolute path bolded below
Cheers,
John

Rupert:
I think all of the AIR/SDK changes, etc. are red herrings. I think you have a relatively simple problem. The key is in the first error you posted.
"method not implemented org.flexunit.internals.runners.statements::IAsyncHandlingStatement/org.flexunit.internals .runners.statements:IAsyncHandlingStatement::handleBindableNextSequence()
   over-binding 0 in org.flexunit.internals.runners.statements::ExpectAsyn"
This is telling you that something you claim implements IAsyncHandlingStatement doesn't have a required method, named handleBindableNextSequence. This is a big clue. handleBindableNextSequence is a required method of this interface if you are building the library with the Flex extensions. This method is not required if you build the library without these extensions (ActionScript only)
So, I would wager you have one of two things happening.
Scenario A, you have two copies of FlexUnit4 in different projects or libraries. One of them is a Flex4 ActionScript Only version, and one is a Flex version and the linker is confused as well causing these errors to occur at runtime.
Scenario B, one your libraries is referencing and/or building FlexUnit 4 classes into it. Then in your test project you are using a different copy of FlexUnit 4 during test and again, you have a mistmatch of AS-only versions and Flex versions.
Unless you are using a beta version of FlexUnit, which you didn't mention, the core libraries have not changed since last december and this particular class hasn't changes since nearly a year before that.
I can replicate that error if I setup two projects on my machine and mix the versions of the FlexUnit4.swc as I mention above.

Absolute paths to eclipse project root? Why?

I am a dedicated follower of the Flex and related technologies since its first appearance (some years back, Flex 1.5)
Flash Builder (formerly Flex Builder) back then (version 2) seemed to have a problem with paths relative to project location.
More precisely, parts of generated projects always point to absolute locations either inside or outside the eclipse project workspace.
Unfortunately, the problem still persists. In the past I had reported this issue (long time to remember/extract details now) but without success as it seems.
This is very important for projects intended to be developed by more than one persons (different development machines, different paths etc.)
for an example, with Flash Builder 4, create a new Flex project (Web), activate WTP integration, complete project generation and then check files
.actionScriptProperties and .flexProperties
you will observe absolute path references to essential files
here is an example of my .actionScriptProperties
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<actionScriptProperties mainApplicationPath="Main.mxml" projectUUID="43b42874-f3f0-4b6b-932c-6a1d4e492b56" version="6">

</libraryPath>
<sourceAttachmentPath/>

<applications>
<application path="Main.mxml"/>
</applications>
<modules/>
<buildCSSFiles/>
</actionScriptProperties>
here is a copy of my .flexProperties
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<flexProperties enableServiceManager="false" flexServerFeatures="6" flexServerType="8" flexWarLocation="D:/lcds/lcds.war" serverContextRoot="/WebContent" serverRoot="D:/eclipse-win32/workspace/net.eliasbalasis.flex.web.sample/WebContent" serverRootURL="http://localhost:8400/net.eliasbalasis.flex.web.sample" toolCompile="true" useServerFlexSDK="false" version="2"/>
D:/lcds/lcds.war i suspect is fine because it is the location of the LiveCycle Data Services WAR used to create the project (it is external anyway)
However, D:/eclipse-win32/workspace/net.eliasbalasis.flex.web.sample/WebContent is not fine at all. It is a location inside the project workspace. It should be referenced using some kind of variable, similarly to ${PROJECT_FRAMEWORKS} above.
I observed that there is a variable ${DOCUMENTS} under Eclipse-->Preferences-->Workspace-->Linked Resources which references the Eclipse project workspace root (extremely convenient).
Unfortunately, it seems that this variable can only be used within the context of other eclipse configuration files like .project and .classpath but not within the context of .actionScriptProperties and .flexProperties
This is the same exact issue I reported in the past (see above)
Flex Builder/Flash Builder family of products are the only Eclipse Based tools I have so far worked with that have such a big trouble handling file path locations relative to eclipse workspace root
OOPS. CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG PLEASE.
I just replaced the eclipse workspace root with ${DOCUMENTS} and the project still compiles and generates deployment packages successfully.
Perhaps the "Linked Resources" variables work in the context of flex configuration files.
However I am not 100% sure.
Please verify or otherwise provide a solution, as I am ready to select Flex technology products for the development of a new quite complex, multi developer, large scale system and this will be the only reason making me consider abandoning Flex and use other technology products

I loooove Eclipse for reason.
Yes, you are right, use of variables is great thing.
However, there are 2 ways
1.
Use all paths relative to Eclipse workspace root. No absolute paths anywhere and No variables.
2.
Use tool-supplied variables (like ${DOCUMENTS} supplied by FB4 plugin pointing to Eclipse document root)
However, although the variable is supplied by FB4 plugin, when a project is generated its files still contain absolute path references
I had to manually introduce the ${DOCUMENTS} variable in project files discovering that variables work in the context of FB4 plugin project files.
In earlier versions of FB plugin variables where not processed.
Congratulations FB4 team, you saved the day.
All I am saying is that there shouldn't be absolute paths in generated FB project files. Replacing manually currently works but it is not the easiest thing for all users. I happened to know where to look. Others may not.
I believe FB team has to consider making actual use of the supplied variables in next version of FB (or alternatively, not use variables at all)
p.s.
You will love Eclipse, trust me :-)

Only Use Absolute Paths, Disable Relative Paths

Hi All,
I am trying to work out how to disable Relative Paths in
Dreamweaver 8. We are wanting to create some eBay templates in
dreamweaver. Once these are created we want to copy and paste the
code into the eBay description. However when using relative paths,
this breaks the page when it is uploaded to eBay. Obviously because
it is looking for ../../images/logo.gif etc.
What it saves as currently: src="../../images/logo.gif"
What I want it to save as: src="
http://mysitehere.com/images/logo.gif"
So how can I completely disable relative paths and have
Absolute Paths in its place.
Regards,
Joel

You can't.

How do you change sub VIs to be referenced relatively as opposed to absolute paths?

When I drag and drop a subvi into my current VI it works perfectly. However, the subVI has an absolute path that points to somebody else's code on my computer. I would prefer not to point my code to somebody else's code because if they decide to delete their code or modify it, my own code becomes at risk of breaking. Instead, I would like to create a duplicate of subVI and have my current Vi point to it relatively (i.e. using things like ../../subvi.vi).
How can I accomplish this in labview?

> Does this still "hardcode" the abosolute file path?
I think the right answer is yes and no
Your main vi will remember the sub vi's file location relative to itself.
So you can move the folder containing the main vi and sub vi and main will have no trouble finding the sub vi.
If you move the sub vi to a folder under main using Window commands, main will notice that the sub vi is
not where it's supposed to be and try to find it.
If found, a warning is given. If not found it will ask you to Browse to it.
So it's absolute "relative" to main - not to the file system.
I hope this makes sense ...

How to avoid giving absolute path?

Hi
I have a web application which contains some jsps and servlets and i am running it on Apache Tomcat 4.1. The name of my application is MyApp which contains all the servlets and jsps.
In order to deploy the application i have placed the MyApp folder in the 'webapps' folder of Tomcat. Now in one of my servlets i.e. 'DirectoryCreator', i am trying to create a folder i.e. 'Directory' in the MyApp folder. The problem is that i dont want to give an absolute path to the File class constructor. The class files of my servlets are in classes folder i.e. MyApp \ Web-INF \ classes.
I have tried:
File f = new File("/Directory");
f.mkdir();but this creates the Directory folder in my C drive.
Please tell me how i can avoid giving the absolute path.
Thanks.

What you want is getSerlvetContext().getRealPath("WEB-INF/NewDir").
If you're going to put extra data into your webapp you should put it in WEB-INF unless you want it to be avaialble to be served e.g. html files etc.

Could not find agent library in absolute path

Hi,
I have a JVMTI agent which works on windows that I am trying to port to linux.
I have compiled to code on Ubuntu 10.04 using Eclipse and have created shared library .so file.
When I try to run an application with the agentpath argument, I get the error: "Could not find agent library in absolute path"
When trying to run the mtrace sample from the java JDK, it works fine.
My Java version is:
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
I also tried running nm | grep Agent_OnLoad and got the following:
00029220 T Agent_OnLoad
00036230 b ZGVZ12AgentOnLoadE4data
00030720 r ZZ12AgentOnLoadE19__PRETTY_FUNCTION__
00036240 b ZZ12AgentOnLoadE4data
My agent references several libraries such as boost asio and log4cxx could it be related somehow to these?
I think it might be some sort of compilation issue because on windows it works fine.
Thanks

I managed to solve my problem.
It turned out that the error was caused by missing referenced libraries that were not linked in to my so file.
Once I added all of the required libraries, the agent started working.

Loading Absolute Paths

Hi,
I'm new to flash and I'm creating a flash mp3 player and have
questions about loading paths. I'm trying to find out if it's
possible to load absolute paths that are outside the document root
of my website. The reason why I want the mp3's outside the document
root is because I don't want the mp3's to be accessible for
download. Here is the code that I'm using to try to accomplish this
task....
var getSong:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var sndTrack:Sound = new Sound();
var pauseMs:Number = 0;
getSong.load("mp3loader.php");
getSong.onLoad = function(lSuccess:Boolean):Void {
if (this.theSong) {
txt_field.text = this.theSong
} else {
txt_field.text = "Song Not Found";
if (lSuccess) {
sndTrack.loadSound(this.theSong, true);
sndTrack.onLoad = function(sSuccess:Boolean):Void {
if (sSuccess) {
sndTrack.stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function() {
sndTrack.start(pauseMs, 0);
stop_btn.onRelease = function() {
pauseMs = 0;
sndTrack.stop();
pause_btn.onRelease = function() {
pauseMs = sndTrack.position / 1000;
sndTrack.stop();
} else {
txt_field.text = "Song Could Not be loaded";
The path that would be returned by the php file would be
something similar to "/var/www/mp3s/mp3file.mp3 and the swf file
could be located at "/var/www/public_html/player/mp3player.swf". If
flash does not have the capability to load files outside of the
document root of the website can you give alternatives to
accomplish the same thing?
Thanks
Dana H.

you can't prevent your mp3's location from being discovered
by moving them to a different server.

Getting absolute path of a file running in remote machine

Hi,
I want to get the absolute path of a file that will be created in the remote server. Inside a directory XYZ in remote machine, the file will be created and the remote machine's address is xxx.xx.x.x. I have used the following snippet
File f=new File(Filename);
f.getAbsolutePath();
Now, in the output am getting the absolute path of the file as d:/XYZ/Filename. Is there any way to get the output as xxx.xx.x.x/XYZ/FileName ? Can someone please suggest why the server details are not fetched and instead the directory name is fetched.
I am running the program to get absolute path of a file in my remote machine. and for accessing that remote file from my machine, I use xxx.xx.x.x/XYZ/FileName.
Thanks in advance.

I'm going to take it a step further and guess at what the OP is going to say next.
On host w.x.y.z there's a file /a/b/share/some_dir/file.txt.
Host w.x.y.z is sharing the /a/b/share/ directory as SHARE.
Client mounts \\w.x.y.z\SHARE as D:, so that he sees D:/some_dir/file.txt.
OP now wants to know not just that D:/some_dir/file.txt is \\w.x.y.z\SHARE/some_dir/file.txt, but also wants to know that on w.x.y.z, SHARE corresponds to /a/b/share.
@OP: If that's what you want, forget it. Part of the premise of file common drive/directory sharing protocols is that the client does not know or care and does not need to know or care what the absolute path is on the serving host. It's none of his business.

Receipts, absolute paths necessary?

I used PackageMaker to set up some installation for my selfmade launch daemon. It works and the OS X installer creates receipts in /Library/Receipts for it as expected.
To my best knowledge all of those receipts are used by disk utility to verify permissions. I found that my receipts are not used for that. I guess it's because the BOM's contents shows no absolute paths to the files.
My example:
lsbom -p MUGsf /Library/Receipts/dslnet_plist.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom
-rw-r--r-- root wheel 359 ./de.realmacmark.dslnet.plist
Example from Apple:
lsbom -p MUGsf /Library/Receipts/MacOSXUpd10.4.7PPCPatch.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom
-rwxrwxr-x root admin 7564 ./Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Shockwave 10/Xtras/._Flash Asset PPC
How can I use PackageMaker to create a package that will get a receipt from the installer with absolute paths inside?

Repair Permissions only uses certain package receipts to repair permissions. While I don't know the exact details, I believe they-- actually, I just took a look at the DiskManagementTool and figured out what packages are used. Only the following packages are used to get a list of the permission settings that Disk Utility compares against:

These paths are hard-coded into the DiskManagementTool, which is what does the verification or repair of permissions. I believe the reason they're hard coded and limited to Apple-only packages is to assure that the incorrect permission settings in a poorly-created third-party package aren't used to repair the permissions to an improper value.
Hope this helps....
