File type from file name

Hi,
Is there any standard method to get a file type from file name?
File name can be ‘C:\test.doc’ or “C:\test’(test – is file) i.e. with or without file type extension.
...Naddy

You can use the Function module PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME
export paramter extension will tell the type of file
Sample Output
Import     COMPLETE_FILENAME     C:\TEST.TXT
Import     CHECK_DOS_FORMAT     
Export     DRIVE     C
Export     EXTENSION     TXT
Export     NAME     TEST
Export     NAME_WITH_EXT     TEST.TXT
Export     PATH     \

  • I uploaded and edited my RAW image, clicked 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg.

    I edited my raw image in Photoshop CS6, selected 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg. I also selected 12 and large file when the window popped up, concluding my 'saving as'. My computer does not recognize the file type and won't open them. Can someone help me? Thanks!

    When naming files, stick to the letters of the ENGLISH alphabet, numbers and underscores.  Do not use illegal characters like apostrophes, commas, asterisks, ampersands, hatch or pound signs, diacritics or accented characters, slashes, etc.
    While the period (dot) is not an illegal character per se, your file names should have only one period and that should always be followed by the file type extension.

    Try image capture or a card reader - after the photos are safely on your Mac then use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card

  • Getting the file type from a placed file

    Hi
    I am trying to get the file type from items placed on a page. I know the types available has one of the three interfaces "IImageAttributes", "IEPSAttributes" or "IPDFAttributes", but how can i test whether the placed image is a TIF, JPG ... Of course i could test on the suffix or the file type (mac), but that isnt "secure" enough, since InDesign can place files with no filetype or extension, if they are in an importable format.
    What I want in short, is to read the filetype shown in the Info palette, any one knows how to do this?
    Jon

    Thanks, I did take a look in these interfaces, but that didnt solve the problem for eps, pdf and other none raster types.
    Instead I found the:
    IDataLink->GetNameInfo()
    Which gives me the string from the Info palette.

    thank you very much for your help=]

    I am not sure what you mean, but once you make a project. Then go to the share menu and you can export the project to iDVD, itunes, mobileme, quicktime.
    Share export quicktime movie will allow you to export to a variety of codecs. What specific export are you looking to share the movie in? What is the final source that the movie will be displayed?

  • Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

    Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

  • How to add list of multiple file types to file type of file dialog box in LabVIEW

    How to add list of multiple file types to file type of file dialog box in LabVIEW?
    In file dialog box there is option to add only one file type,in the list,not by seperating commas,
    regards,
    Naresh.N

    Write the file types in pattern Input string, separated by a semicolon ;
    For example:  *.vi;*.doc;*.jpeg;*.xls
    This should return the set of files with matching extensions

  • How to add array of file types to file dialog box

    Hi
    I just want to know how to add array of file types in file dialog box vi. I know that multiple file type can be added to filedialog vi in the pattern Input string separated by semicolon (eg *.vi;*.doc;*.jpeg;*.xls). But i want file dialog which is shown in the below picture.
    I think that file dialog vi call user32.dll but i don't have that header file to call that dll.
    Waiting for your esteemed response.

    I'm not sure how (or even if) it can be achieved using the LabVIEW built-in open dialog, but a .NET call to openfiledialog (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.openfiledialog.aspx) can do what you're looking for. The .NET functions are better documentented that simple user.dll calls, so it might be easier to implement.

  • How to change file type from .zip to .dock

    I would like to know how to change the saved file type (.zip) to other file types such as (.txt), (.doc), (.dock) or (.pdf).

    It's more complicated than just changing the name of the file to have a different extension.  What you have to do is to convert a file from one format to another.  To do that you have to use an application that knows how to open the original type and how to write the format of the new type.  The application to use for a given combination depends on the combination.  For example, the Preview applications knows how to read a JPG file and write the contents to a PDF file.
    A ".zip" file is a somewhat different case.  A ".zip" file is an "archive" that (generally) contains other files compressed within it.  If you double-click on a ZIP file, it should expand into the enclosed files.
    If you give specific examples of what you want to convert, people should be able to explain what to do.
    By the way, I'm not familiar with a file of type ".dock".  What is that?

  • Reading non-standard variable types from file

    Hi,
    I'm currently on a programming course, and I need some help with an excercise.
    The excercise is about adding save, load and undo features to an Infocom style text adventure. The save file must contain three variables: The location of the player (Area), the items the player had (ArrayList<Item>) and the number of passed turns (int.)
    Is it possible to write to & read from file with these type of variables? Or do I have to convert them to Area to String (saving) and from String to Area (loading)?
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    You should probably take a look at Java Serialization (google on that)

  • Some iTunes library files showing as an unknown file type - different files from same import...

    Haven't been able to find a similar problem on here, but apologies if this is a repetition of another discussion.
    Some of the files in my Itunes library popped up with the little exclamation mark next to them, so I attempted to locate them. It's been a patchy problem since transferring from PC to Mac, but has just been an issue of pointing Itunes to the right file.
    However, in this instance when I navigate through to the files in the folder they aren't showing as the same file type as the music that is playing in the library - I just get a blank page icon.
    What's confusing me is that these aren't different file types or from different sources. They're maybe 3 tracks out of a whole album that is playing fine, that were all ripped from the same CD at the same time.
    I've no idea why the Itunes is seeing some of these files differently. Any ideas?

    Looked at in the HD they're all showing as M4P. I'm sure it's the way the software is viewing the files, and not the files themselves. Itunes does offer to find the others, but then does a really crappy job of doing so - missing files in the same album in the same folder.
    I've cracked the original file problem by pointing Itunes to the files by going through the MacHD route, so now I'm just wrestling with thousands of missing files that I know are sitting right next to the files that aren't missing!
    I might just resign myself to ploughing through and fixing it, sorting the patchy artwork at the same time. If I do a purge at the same time I can convince myself that I'm not wasting my life!

  • Block File Types from KM Repository

    Open Config Tool > cluster-data > Instance > Server > General Tab and add Java parameter '-Dcom.sap.km.forbiddenext=exe,avi' (modify exact values per your needs). Save and repeat the same procedure for all cluster instances. Restart cluster.

  • ITunes 8 moved importing/file type from Advanced to General tab

    In iTunes 8, converting from one file format to another is now handled under iTunes Preferences > General > Import Settings button, rather than under the Advanced tab as in previous versions. All the file types are still there.

    Hi there,
    The problem here are NOT the WARNINGs but the ERRORs. So basically focus on the ERRORs...
    For the ERRORs the solution is in Metalink Note:289606.1 - Pre-Check Fails - Oracle Report Objects Show Red Crosses When Merging a Transport Set within the Dependency Manager.
    As for the WARNING, you should also migrate the users and the groups via the OID scripts - ldapsearch & ldapadd.
    I hope it helps...
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
