Finding the exact path to a newly created file.

Hello,
In my program I create a new file using a BufferedWriter. This, as you most certainly know, creates the file in the current directory. I'd like to know how do I find out the exact path of the file I just created?
Example: the program is being run from C:\Java. The program creates the file test.txt. How do I figure out that it's C:\Java\test.txt if I don't know for sure what directory the program is being run from?
Thanks,
-Kain

Heh. I feel pretty dumb now. I had been looking at that exact method for about a week now but thinking it wouldn't be as easy as it sounds. After trying it it was pathetically easy. Guess I should always try things first before deeming it impossible by those means.

How do I find out the exact path of each and every file that LabVIEW finds and loads into memory for a given top level vi?

How do I find out the exact path of each and every file that LabVIEW finds and loads into memory for a given top level vi? There is probably a trivial, easy way to get this info, but I have not yet found it! Thanks..

Or if you want to grab all the paths programatically, try the attached VI.
Open the top level that you want all the paths from and close all others, then open the
attached and run it. It will return an array of all the VIs that the VI
in question uses, including vi.lib VIs. You can filter these as well if
you like.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Finding the exact path of a file using a Java program

Can anyone tell me how to find the exact path of a file which is saved in a directory other than the one in which the main file is saved? I know there is a class called File which has many methods like isAbsolutePath() and isPath() but they return the path in which the main class is located

actually i m trying to write a program which will
take a name of a file or a directory from the console
and it should give the entire path of that file or
directory and this file need not be stored in the
path of the main class.....It can be stored in any
drives of my PC....Ok, then the console input needs to be an absolute path or a path relative to some given directory (usually the one from which the application is started). Java cannot magically guess absolute paths if you just provide a file name. E.g. if I'd use your program and would provide as input "build.xml", how should the program know which file by that name I mean (there are lots of build.xml files in different locations on my machine)?

How can I find the real path to servlet class

Hi,
I am facing an issue. Am in the process of creating a filter which would send a Last-modified along with the header. For this I will be checking the is-modified-since
header and lastModified date of the file.
The problem I am facing is that after taking the file part from the request and checking
the lastmodified date, it gives error. This is because i use,
String real_path = getServletContext().getRealPath(request.getServletPath());
and it would return the path to servlet-name and not to servlet-class, since servlet-name
is not physically present. It would return an error value.
Is there any way which I could find the real path to my servlet class file ?

Remember you should not take the last mnodified date
of the class file or the jar file that contain the
class as the value for the getLastModified method
becouse the last modified date that should be used in
the caching is the last modified date of the dynamic
content that the servlet is about to prodice.
The same class file will produce different content
for different requests if not why do you use
servlets you can directly use the static contentThanks for a valuable remark.
Hence our getLastModified() often returns System.currentTimeMillis() result.

Hi coypaschal,
To rearrange pages in a PDF file, you need Acrobat Pro or Standard. With either of those applications, it's as simple as dragging page thumbnails into their new position. For more information, see Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Rearranging pages in a PDF

Thank you GeeD. I'm still stymied.
I have moved the Event and Project Folders to the "top-layer of the drive" as the instructions state, right alongside the System Folder, Users Folder and Applications Folders.
When I open iMovie 10.0.8, the Events and Projects Folders are empty:
When I select File/Update Projects and Events, I get an alert box that says iMovie couldn't find any:
Not knowing exactly what is meant by the "top layer" in the instructions, I moved the Events and Project folders back inside the "Movies" folder where I found them (but then not where I would call the "top" layer, but rather "iMac/Users/Home/Movies/iMovieProjects". Then I tried to "Update Projects and Events" and received the same alert: "iMovie could not find any projects or events to update."
Then I tried to update iMovie 9.0 (iMovie '11 version 9.0 (1073)) to version 9.0.9 .
[As an aside, the nomenclature of iMovie drives me nuts. The latest version is 10.0.8, which us newer than iMovie '11.]
Back to the update of version 9.0 to 9.0.9.
Presumably because I have version 10.0.8 installed, I got this alert box:
So, I cannot update version 9.0
and I cannot "Update" the Events and Projects created in version 9.0.

Why does Visual STudio 2012 References keep showing Exclamation mark (which means assembly is missing) even after I specify the exact path?

Our web application at work requires Visual Studio 2012
For one of the projects within the Visual Studio 2012 Web Application Solution, we need the System.Web.Mvc in the References.
I already have the following in the packages folder:
{blah...blah..Visual Studio Solution path..blah}\packages\Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.5.1.1\lib\net45\System.Web.Mvc.dll
I keep adding it, but the References still shows the Exclamation mark ( which means missing) next to the System.Web.Mvc
Why does it keep showing the Exclamation mark ( which means missing) , even after I specify the exact path to the System.Web.Mvc.dll ?

Hi cslewis33,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, if you want to add the System.Web.Mvc reference for a web application in VS2012. As far as l know that the System.Web.Mvc dll is default be located like this path:" C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 4\Assemblies\System.Web.Mvc.dll.
So if you create the web app using c# language, I suggest you can right-click your Reference under the we application -> Add Reference->select the System.Web.Mvc in the Assemblies tab.
If the above suggestion still could not help you, I suggest you can consult this issue directly to the ASP.NET forum:http://forums.asp.net/ , maybe you will get better support.
Thanks for your understanding.

that's why I need the tomcat path.
please tell me.Well, if you've just installed Tomcat you do know where it is so what's the problem? Why not, in fact, include your application in the tomcat directories as you install them? That's all there is to installing tomcat, installing the directories, setting %JAVA_HOME% and (possibly) running the service.bat file.

Function that finds the absolute path of a file

Hi,
I'm creating an application using the SDL framework.
The following code gives me the absolute path for the file "caisse.jpg", which is located in my application bundle. Then, I can use the value of "cstrURL" to load the image with IMG_Load(cstrURL);
#import <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
CFURLRef url = CFBundleCopyResourceURL( CFBundleGetMainBundle(),
CFSTR("caisse"),
CFSTR("jpg"), //extension du fichier
NULL );
const char* cstrURL = CFStringGetCStringPtr(
CFURLCopyFileSystemPath(url,kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle),
CFStringGetSystemEncoding()
printf("URL: %s", cstrURL);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
But I have many files to load for my application. I tried to create a function that would take as parameter informations about the image, and then automatically find the absolute path of this image.
( void imgPath(char name[], char ext[], char destination[] ---> name = "image", ext = "jpg", destination is a variable in which the function puts the absolute path of the file)
How can I do that? What bugs me is the use of the CFSTR macro in the code I have...
Thank you very much
FRANKY

The CFSTR macro can only use a constant string as parameter, not a variable one.
You can use instead CFStringCreateWithCString if the parameter is a C String (char *).
Additionaly, I think the input parameters of your imgPath function must be of char* type, not char. And the output parameter char** (but it would be easier to know with the function source code).

How to get the art handle of a newly created art.

Hi all,
Is there any way through which we can get the art handle of a newly created art, just after its creation on the document?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, there is nothing to really do this. I asked for years, and eventually gave up. The best I came up with -- and it sucks -- is to watch for kArtPropertiesChangedNotifier and when that triggers, you look at the selected art and assume that was what was 'created' or 'edited'. Of course, telling the difference between the two is a problem

I have files that freeze my programs whenever I try to open ANY file. Is there a way to find the exact files causing the crash?

I have files that are freezing my programs (adobe; after effect and photoshop, as well as maxon cinema 4d). Whenever I try to import ANY file from within the program it doen't even let me select the file I need before freezing. I have moved all files off my desktop and into my dropbox, and it now allows me to import files/search for files on the desktop but NOT dropbox, once I go to dropbox it freezes again. I am assuming there are files within dropbox now that are crashing my programs. The problem is I have a lot of files in there and would like to remove the corrupt ones so that I can use my programs without freezing. Is there a way to find the exact files causing the crash?
This has happened a couple of times and each time I have to move all my files off my desktop, so there must be a type of file doing this, I just don't know what files they are.
Mac Book Pro 15" running OSX 10.9

ANY help would be greatly appreciated! It is making it really hard to get work done. THANKS!

This error sounds to me like you have/had BootCamp Windows installed and then removed, posible ?
If so (and even if not so), try restating your MBA while holding down the alt/option-key until you get to the Boot Selection Screen.
Choose to boot OSX.
Once in OSX go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.
Hope it helps

How to find the exact word in a long text?

Hi,
Scenario:
I have long text containing the system status of the equipment.
Issue:
I need to find the exact word from the list of the statuses. I have tried to use the FIND keyword but it does not work for all the cases.
Example:
 FIND 'REL' IN <status_list> IGNORING CASE.
 if sy-subrc = 0.
 " do something
 endif.
If the status list contains the word 'RELR', the sy-subrc is set to 0 (which may be because it searches the list based on a pattern) but I want to get the exact match.
Can anybody suggest me on this.
Regards

This is becacuse when you check

It is having RELR so that is the reason you are getting subrc = 0.
>Ok try CS it should work perfectly.
It seems... CS also not the correct answer
(It will count RELR) below thread sachin is correct ...Do that way ....

How to find the exact user exit for our requirement?

Dear Mr. keerthi,
can you please explain me how to find the exact user exit for our requirement?

Hi sandip
There is more than one method in which you can check for user-exits.The following method is used very often.
How to find the exact user-exit for your requirement.
1. You can check the user exists using transaction SE85.
2. Repository Information System -> Enhancements -> Customer exits
3. You can search the user-exits by package name.
4. Double click on each exit name to check the function module exits.
The procedure to find the package name.
Execute transaction SE93
Enter the tcode of the transaction for which you want to check the user exit.
Example: if you want to find the user-exit for purchase orders while changing, enter ME22n and press display.
You will get to see the package name
But you need to confirm that the user exit will get triggered at the appropriate event.
( example: you might want some validations to be done ON SAVE of a purchase order)
Checking if the user-exit is getting triggered or not.
1. Open the user exit function module (that you have got in step 4) in Tcode SE37.
2. Click on where used button. In the pop up that immediately appears choose only programs .
3. You will get a list of programs. Double click on the program name.
4. You will get the list of location where this function module user exit is used.
5. Place session break points at each of these location ( at each CALL FUNCTION statement)
6. Now go to your transaction ( say change purchase order tcode:Me22n) and check if the user exit is getting triggered on appropriate event.
regards,
Prasad
