Get file Type

Hi
Need to get the Check file type into a varaible .
eg : '.TXT' or '.WTX' etc from a path C:\Documents and Settings\name\desktop\file.txt or file.wtx etc ....
Thanks,
Vind

To make this happen follow the following code.
SPLIT p_file AT c_dot INTO lv_file lv_ext.
TRANSLATE lv_ext TO UPPER CASE.
Here p_file is the variable containing the file path data.
In our case lv_ext is the variable which would contain the type of the file you have selected.
Reward if found use full.
Thanks & Regards,
Rama Murthy.P

Why is Get File Type.vi password protected

Hi... We have a code that was developed in LabVIEW 8.6... We have a need to attempt to save this code all the way back to version 7.1... I saved it back from 8.6 --> 8.5 --> 8.2.1 --> 8.0 with no issues... But when I then try to save it back from 8.0 to 7.1 I encounter one LabVIEW 8 vi that has no equivalent functionality in 7.1... And that one vi is
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.x\vi.lib\Utility\lvfile.llb\Get File Type.vi
When I look at that vi in 8.x, to endeavor to see if I can replace its functionality by writing some code in 7.1, I find that the Get File Type.vi is password protected... More out of curiousity than anything, why is that code password protected??? I wasn't aware that any of the standard purchased LabVIEW code came password protected... Can anyone tell me why that is??? thanks... bob..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That VI is using an internal callback into LabVIEW (i.e. non G-based code) to determine the type of the file. I'm guessing the callback doesn't exist in 7.1, so you would need to write your own G-based implementation for getting the type of a file in the 7.1 case. The simplest solution would be to work with the extensions of the files...not perfect, but probably close enough assuming your files are well-named. Also, the following VI can give you a bit more information about LabVIEW-specific files (independent of extension):
LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\Utility\libraryn.llb\Librarian Get Info.vi

How get File Type Icon Image

how get File Type Icon Image (Windows )
FileSystemView.getSystemIcon( File );works in swing application, can not be used for javafx.scene.image.ImageView;

Hmm, good question.
Looking at the FileChooser, it looks like the native chooser is used so possibly the JFX guys didn't have to expose access to the icons to make it work. You might want someone to confirm, but my guess is there is no equivalent yet in JFX.
Assuming there's nothing, you could try the hacks in here to convert the image: Image conversion between AWT and FX
Failing that you're probably looking at raising a JIRA feature request to get it in a future release.

How to get file type within SPFile

Hi,
I have a document library and I would like to get the type of document so it can be displayed for the user
Currently I have this code
foreach (SPListItemVersion version in item.Versions)
if (version.Level == SPFileLevel.Published)
string fileicon = version.ListItem.File.IconUrl;
string filetype = version.ListItem.File.Item.ContentType.Name;
string filesize = (version.ListItem.File.Length / 1024).ToString();
string filetitle = version.ListItem.File.Item.Title;
string filepath = version.ListItem.File.ServerRelativeUrl;
Within the code I get the "ListItem.File.Item.ContentType.Name" and this always returns "Document" even if its a Word Document, Spreadsheet, jpg or PDF.
I really want to display, Document, spreadsheet, pdf, etc etc
How do I get this property??
Thanks
Marc

You can use the ListItem.File.Name property to get the full file name including the extension, you could then parse this to get just the extension and determine the file type based on that.
Note that when parsing the file name, if you try to do it by splitting the filename using the period symbol "." as the seperator you will need to allow for file names which contain multiple period symbols. You may be able to use the System.IO.FileInfo class to help, it has an instance property 'Extension' which should take care of that for you, though getting an SPFile into a FileInfo object may be more hassle than just writing your own quick parser, I haven't tried it.

How to get file type

Hi,
Can anyone help me on how to find the input file type i.e. pdf or txt or word.
Is there any function similar to what we have to get the filename in OSB.
In fact I have a requirement where I have to send a mail with the attached incoming file and the incoming file can be of any type.
Please help me as I need this urgently.
Thanks in advance...
Regards,

Hi,
You can use xquery function tokenize($input,$pattern) to separate file name extension alone from complete file name.
And for sending email with attachments follow this tutorial. http://blogs.oracle.com/christomkins/2009/04/sending_an_email_with_an_attac.html.

CD albums in iTunes (12.1.2.27) won't load to iPad - gets file type not supported message

I just updated to iTunes 12.1.2.27 and synced to my iPad, but all of my CD albums that are in iTunes on a mac-mini (Yosemite 10.10.3) won't sync now. A sample message is:
"song title" was not copied because the file type is not supported by the iPad "my iPad name"
There where a hundred songs on the list. My iPad is on IOS 8.3. I have never had this problem before. Songs purchased from iTunes store are there, but not my own CDs.
Has anyone seen this problem before? What is the solution?
Rolf

Problem solved! Apparently way back in November of last year I made a copy of the iTunes library on my time machine backup disk manually. I just created the folder on the drive. This was because I was updating the system and did not trust anything to work properly afterwards. The iTunes folder was sitting on that drive and iTunes (for reasons I don't understand) started using parts of it. I noticed this when I tried to play one of the songs from my CD albums. The backup disk would mount and spin up and play the song from there.
By the way the iTunes preferences were set to look at the iTunes library on my mac-mini system disk not the backup drive. Why it went to that backup drive I will never know. Anyway I renamed the iTunes folder to something else on the backup drive. Now when I play a song from an album it goes to the proper iTunes library (the one on my mac-mini disk). Subsequent to this fix a sync to the iPad copied my albums properly with no error.

Getting file types in directory structure.

I have a directory with 5000 files in it in 1000 folders. I
need to parse through all these files and construct a list of file
types (.jpg, .doc, .pdf etc) These types will be entered into a
database table so we have a distinct list of file types that we
have. I'm just wondering what everyone's opinion on the easiest way
to accomplish this is. Obviously CFDIRECTORY comes to mind doing
some crazy loops, but I started and was just thinking there might
be a better/easier way to do this.
Any suggestions?
THANKS

Yeah I got that part as far as parsing out the file type from
the name that cfdirectory spits out. It's the recursion of the
dierctories that I'm having problems with. If it was just one
directory full of files this would be a snap but there are
directories 3-4 levels deep. Just trying to figure out the best way
to loop through the files in a directory but also loop through
files in sub directories.

Get file typs

I am using cfdirectory to read a directory but I need to get
the extension of the files in the directory. I cant seem to find
anything about it. I can get whether its a file or directory with
cfdir... but not the extension such as if the file is jpg, png,
html, or swf etc.. I have searched high and low with no luck. Is
there a way to do that?
thanx

I would, however, put the CFOBJECT tag outside of the loop
and desolve it at the end.
<cfset scan_dir
="C:\path_to_whatever_you_want_to_query">
<cfdirectory directory="#scan_dir#" action="list"
name="qryDir">
<CFOBJECT TYPE="COM" CLASS="Scripting.FileSystemObject"
NAME="FSO" ACTION="CREATE">
<cfloop query="qryDir">
<cfif Type is "File">
<CFSET path = "#qrydir.name#">
<cfscript>
theFile = FSO.GetExtensionName(path);
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>
The file Ext is: #theFile#<br>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfset FSO = ''>
Yeah that would probably keep some of the overhead down
setting the COM object outside the loop.

LR5.3 edit in CS6 13.0 gets file type wrong

In LR5.3 I have settings for edit in external app set to TIFF file format. When I edit custom file naming for this, it defaults to PSD and when edited in CS6 13.02 it is indeed PSD not TIFF and in custom naming I can't see how to change the default.

This girl here found the fix:
How to Manually Fix Updates on Adobe Photoshop CS6 (from 13.0.3 to 13.0.6) on Mac with Retina Display |
Basically, all you have to do is update the Application Manager (if your installation was like mine, I was still on v.6... it's up to v.9 now. Go here for the update: Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Macintosh : Adobe Application Manager and run it... when done, launch Photoshop and check for updates.
This is amazingly idiotic, I must add -- how does App Manager NOT update itself through the update process???

Limit File Type and file size in attachment table.

Dear All,
I want to limit file type like .jpg,.mpgv files while ataching files in attachment table in oracle apps. Also want to limit file size.
Please help.
Thanks

Refer below link regd implementing file upload:
File Upload
We can get file type using
DataObject fileUploadData =
(DataObject)pageContext.getNamedDataObject("fileInput2");
//here OAFileUploadBean is "fileInput2"
String contentType = fileUploadData.selectValue(null, "UPLOAD_FILE_MIME_TYPE");
Based on this file type write your login in processFormRequest.
Will let you know if I find anything about size also.

Data Recover From Formatted Drive? What is the best program to use to get back Logic Projects and any other file type?

I was in the process of reorganising my hard drives so I could RAID them however I managed to corrupt one drive and had to format it which meant I lost all my Logic Files and some other files. I managed to save a lot of files (mainly video files) before I had to format the drive but I need a Data Recovery service that will not alter anything on the hard drive and will put all the formatted files (regardless of the type) back for me so I can get the rest of the ones I need.
Thanks in advance.

What about folders and such?
No. FS doesn't reconstruct folders. However, Data Rescue does, depending on how you use it. About the only thing in Data Rescue a Quick Scan ever seems to show you are files that are already live.
So that leaves you with a Deep Scan, or a Deleted Files scan. The first pass of a Deep Scan will attempt to retrieve folders and files, along with their original names. The second pass only looks for file patterns. Like recognizing a Photoshop .psd file. It will recover it, but give it a nonsense name. A Deleted Files scan only results in nonsense names of recognized file types; no folders.
What were you using File Salvage on? A hard drive?
Yes, though you can use it on a flash drive, or any other mounted drive.
At the moment it is estimating 289 hours remaining on a 1TB drive. Can it not go faster?
No, both of the software mentioned are slower than molasses in January. When you delete anything in Windows, its file table entry simply tagged as deleted. So to unerase them, the tag is removed. That's why it works to quickly and easily (assuming you haven't already overwritten the data to be recovered).
In OS X though, the whole idea of the underlying UNIX structure is all about security. It's not supposed to be easy to retrieve deleted items. When you delete items, their file table entries are erased. So the only way to find deleted items is to scour the entire drive for BOF (Beginning Of File) markers that don't have a matching starting block to anything that is in the file table.
Another question, half the drive was empty. Will it fly over that empty space or will it sieve through it incase there was some files stored on it?
If you use the Expert mode is FS, you can choose to do that:

Every time I download anything I get an error message stating ...could not open ....dmg because it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged." What do I need to do to fix this problem?

For the last month or so, every time I download anything I get an error message stating "........could not open ...... .dmg because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...." I do not know what to do to fix this issue. Any ideas?
