Extract filename from a path

Hi folks!
Anybody knows if there is a MF to extract the filename from a path...
for example, if i have a path like:
server\filename.ext
c:filename.ext
c:\>filename.txt
i want to extract the filename: 'filename.ext' (or just, 'filename')
Thank's in advance!
Xavi.

Hi,
You can use the FM CACS_SPLIT_PATH
Import parameters Value
I_PATH C:TEST.TXT
Export parameters Value
E_PATH C:
E_FILENAME TEST.TXT
E_PSERVER X

Regexp problem when extracting filename from path

I'm trying to extract filename and full path from string: \dir1\dir2\file.name
import java.util.regex.*;
public class Main {
 private static final String REGEX = "(\\S*\\)*(\\S*)";
 private static final String INPUT = "\\dir1\\dir2\\file.name";
 public Main() { }
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 Pattern p = Pattern.compile(REGEX);
 Matcher m = p.matcher(INPUT); // get a matcher object
 int count = 0;
 if(m.find()) {
 count++;
 System.out.println("group1: "+m.group(1));
 System.out.println("group2: "+m.group(2));
}I expect group1 to be \dir1\dir2\ and group2 file.name
when I run program exception is thrown:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Unclosed group near index 12
(\S*\)*(\S*)

'jverd' is right but if you are just trying to split the INPUT into a path + filename then why not just look for the last '\'. i.e.
int lastSlash = INPUT.lastIndexOf('\\');
String group1 = INPUT.substring(0, lastSlash);
String group2 = INPUT.substring(lastSlash+1);
As it stands, your example will not give you group 1 as \dir1\dir2. For that you would need something like
"((?:\\[^\\])*)(\\.*)"
to make sure you capure all the path in group 1.

Hello,
I've installed B.O. XI 3.1 client tool on a laptop, but when I try to run Designer, or Deski the following error occurs (REPOSITORY ERROR (fileSystem::extract Blob From Local Path) file not found) and the application quits.
Anyone has an idea?

What operating system are you using on your laptop?
I have a colleague having a similar problem using Windows Vista, whereas I am fine (using XP).
Did you manage to resolve this issue? (And if so, how)

How to get FILENAME from FILE PATH

does anyone know how to get filename from a file path for example
FILE PATH: C:\Project\uploadbean\web\uploads\Button.txt
returns
FILENAME: Button.txt

@BalusC
ust for a reference cause i'm new in JSP This has nothing to do with JSP, but with basic knowledge of an essential API. I have given you the link to the File API. Are you saying that you refused to read the API documentation, which clearly explains you how to use the File and shows which methods are all available to you undereach the straightforward getName() method, and expecting that the others may chew the answers for you? Loser.

Filename from complete file path

Hi,
   can anybody let me know the method to get the filename from the complete filepath( this path includes both directory as well as filename)
regards.
venkat.

Hi,
Check the below code:
data : ig_path type standard table of tp_path,
       wg_path type tp_path.
data : g_lines     type i          ,
       g_filename type string     .
parameter : p_input type rlgrap-filename.
split p_input at '\' into table ig_path.
describe table ig_path lines g_lines.
read table ig_path index g_lines into wg_path.
g_filename = wg_path-val.
write : g_filename.

Extracting files from Portfolio - problem with outlook email created portfolios

Currently I have developed a plugin that can extract files from portfolios using:-
PDNameTree tree = PDDocGetNameTree(pdDoc, ASAtomFromString("EmbeddedFiles"));
and
PDFileAttachmentFromCosObj
But i've noticed with Outlook email created portfolios the above is PDNameTree invalid. any suggestions? is it under another atom string or something?
Thanks,
Lee.

ok, found something out here... if I close the doc using AVDocClose then re-open in the code using PDDocOpen then the PDNameTree tree = PDDocGetNameTree(pdDoc, ASAtomFromString("EmbeddedFiles")); works!!!
but now I have a problem getting the original pdf open filename.
usually can get it with below code but it's returning the Folder path + garbage instead. (this only happens with portfolios created by outlook that I have tested)
There must be a better way of doing this, any ideas? thanks, lee.
ASFile asFile = PDDocGetFile(pdDoc);
ASPathName asPathName = ASFileAcquirePathName(asFile);
char* temp = ASFileSysDIPathFromPath(ASGetDefaultFileSys(), asPathName, NULL);

Extract files from a zip file

Here is my scenario:
I have a zip file, DataStore.zip, which as two layers of zip files.
                                     DataStore.zip
                                           |
           01.zip       02.zip         03.zip      04.zip etc
                             |
                 02a.zip         02b.zip         02c.zip
etc
                     |
            cert1.zip   cert2.zip     cert3.zip     etc
I need to search for any cert.zip embedded at layer3, for which I have written the following program.
I have two issues. First one is, when the files at level 1 (01.zip etc are written to the disk folder c:\ extract, it doesn't allow me to read back from that folder., I get "access to path c:\extract is denied". I researched and found that this
is a security issue with windows 8 and 7. ( I tried both versions). How can I overcome this?
second issue is, if in the first read cycle it fails with "unknown block type, stream may be corrupted", I need to bypass that corrupted zip file and continue, until I get my target file.
The code is give below. Appreciate any help.. Thanks.

Hi friend,
We'd better to ask one question in each thread. If you have another issue, you can consider to open up a new thread in this forum.
Now for the first question, do you mean this picture? It throws access exception in archive2.
If so , because your extractPath is a path, not a directory.You should add +"xxx.zip". For more information, please refer to
ZipFile.Open
Method (String, ZipArchiveMode).
For the second question, you can use the following code to skip the error message.
while (true)
try
//do something;
catch (Exception ex)
{ continue; }
Good day!

Extracting data from Excel To Illustrator javascript or vbscript

Hi all-
I was wondering if there was a way to extract data from Excel to be used in Illustrator. I know there is an option of variables and xml, and I don't want that. I've seen and tried out how to read illustrator and write to excel, and I get that. What I would like to do is pretty much the opposite:
1.Pre-fill in an Excel file(.xls,.csv, doesn't matter) with data such as a filename in column 1 and (Replacement Text) in column 2 and close manually.
2. Run script(VBSCRIPT,Javascript, doesn't matter)
3.For each column in Excel file where cell in first column is not empty, open Illustrator Template with placeholder of "DWG" textframe and replace the frame titled "DWG" with Replacement text from Excel in Column2.
4, Save each to a PDF file and name file with text from Excel Column1(Filename)
In a nutshell, there will be a single illustrator template with a premade textFrame with a name of "DWG". Excel will contain two columns, one for the filename to be named and one for the relative text to replace with the placeholder in AI. I hoped I explained this well enough without causing too much confusion. Thanks in advance.
Filename
Replacement Text
test1.pdf
DWG01
test2.pdf
DWG02
test3.pdf
DWG03
test4.pdf
DWG04

As text… \n is new line character and \r is return character. I can't remember which excel uses but they both equate to a line/paragraph… I very quickly threw together an example for you…
#target Illustrator
textToPDF();
function textToPDF() {
 if ( app.documents.length == 0 ) { return; }
 var doc, csvFile, i, fileArray, opts;
 csvFile = File( '~/Desktop/ScriptTest/Test.csv' );
 if ( !csvFile.exists ) { return; }
 fileArray = readInCSV( csvFile );
 doc = app.activeDocument;
 opts = new PDFSaveOptions();
 opts.pDFPreset = '[Press Quality]';
 // Here we loop the main array
 for ( i = 0; i < fileArray.length; i++ ) {
 // Here we get the second item of sub array i
 doc.textFrames.getByName( 'DWG' ).contents = fileArray[i].[1];
 // Here we get the first item of sub array i
 doc.saveAs( File( fileArray[i].[0] ), opts );
function readInCSV( fileObj ) {
 var fileArray, thisLine, csvArray;
 fileArray =[];
 fileObj.open( 'r' );
 while( !fileObj.eof ) {
 thisLine = fileObj.readln();
 csvArray = thisLine.split( ',' );
 fileArray.push( csvArray );
 fileObj.close();
 return fileArray;
I haven't tested it but it should be close…?

Problem to extract text from HTML document

I have to extract some text from HTML file to my database. (about 1000 files)
The HTML files are get from ACM Digital Library. http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm
The HTML page is about the information of a paper. I only want to get the text of "Title" "Abstract" "Classification" "Keywords"
The Problem is that I can't find any patten to parser the html files"
EX: I need to get the Classification = "Theory of Computation","ANALYSIS OF ALGORITHMS AND PROBLEM COMPLEXITY","Numerical Algorithms and Problem","Mathematics of Computing","NUMERICAL ANALYSIS"......etc .
The section code about "Classification" is below.
Please give any idea to do this, or how to find patten to extract text from this.

One approach is to download Htmlparser from sourceforge
http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/ and write the rules to match title, abstract etc.
Another approach is to write your own parser that extract only title, abstract etc.
1. tokenize the html file. --> convert html into tokens (tag and value)
2. write a simple parser to extract certain information
find out about the pattern of text you want to extract. For instance "<class "abstract">.
then writing a rule for extracting abstract such as
if (tag is abstract ) then extract abstract text
apply the same concept for other tags
Attached is the sample parser that was used to extract title and abstract from acm html files. Please modify to include keyword and other fields.
good luck

filepath and filename? The filepath is not always the same. For
example, the variable could include a "C:\temp\test.doc" or
"C:\files\docfiles\test.doc" and I need to get the filename
"test.doc" and save it to another variable. Thanks in
advance.

on getFilenameFromPath vPath
oldDelim=the itemDelimiter
the itemDelimiter=the last char of the moviePath
iFilename=the last item of vPath
the itemDelimiter=oldDelim
return iFilename
end
Put that into a movie script. Then you can call the function
any time
to retrieve the last part of the path- like this:
put getFilenameFromPath("C:\temp\test.doc")
-- "test.doc"
As an added bonus, it is cross-platform so it will work on a
Mac as well
as a PC.

Filename from field

I have seen in past discussions about the difficluty and even impossibility of creating a SAVE AS filename from a field value in an Adobe form. These discussions were posted back in 2006-2008.
I am hoping that someone knows a relatively simple way to do this (if it's possible in Acrobat 10) I am relatively new to Adobe and Javascripts.
All I want to do is have a button that does a SAVE AS (I can do this), but pull the filename from the "NAME" field in the form and add the .pdf extension and place it in a particular directory on the server.
Seems like this would be possible... can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks a million!!

George,
I think I should document exactly what is happening, so here goes…
FROM ACROBAT X PRO - The form is working and saving via the mouse up JavaScript action coupled with the folder-level JS that contains;
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc and mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction
In order to save it for READER users, I do a FILE, SAVE AS, READER EXTENDED PDF, ENABLE ADDITIONAL FEATURES.
I copy the folder level JS over to the proper JS folder associated with READER
I can open the file in READER and edit the form fields.
When I try to save the file using the Custom Save As button that works in ACROBAT, I get this error;
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.saveAs:4:Field Save:Mouse Up
NOTES:
·         I know that I am using the correct JavaScript folder for READER because I placed this JS code in the folder and it DOES display when I open READER- app.alert("It works!");
·         I am saving the file in both instances to c:\temp\filename.pdf
·         When I distribute the form, I will be able to place the folder-level JS on the users machine.
Per your last post, when I open the file that I have saved as above for READER in ACROBAT and go to file>properties>security I have the following displayed;
Security: No Security
Can be opened by: All versions of Acrobat
