Get the absolute path and filename of the file from the command line

Hi,
when we run the class we give the command
java <filename>
How can I capture the filename given above and get its absolute path inside the
public static void main(String [] args){}
args[0] gives me the command line argument after the filename. How do I capture the filename itself from the command line argument and also get that files absolute path
Thanks

I don't know of any way to capture the java command input, but there are ways to find out where the application is being run from. (the "absolute path")

How do I get the full path and filename of the current document?

I'm writing a format plug-in. How do I obtain the full path and filename of the current image (document) from within my plug-in? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I actually just figured this out. For anyone else who would like to know, check out the propetizer sample code in the photoshop sdk. It makes a "filter" plug-in that just spits out all the properties of the document you could ever want to know about. The function I used to get the full path and filename of the current document is PIGetDocumentName(). I hope this helps someone eventually...

You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

How can I login and retrieve my user file from the trash?

I was trying to find out where all my HD had gone, which a did using ‘What Size’.
I found what looked like an old backup file so I put the file in the trash.
It turns out that the file was my user file. So now I can’t login to as the user.

How can I determine the full path and filename of the currently opened .ai file?

In Photoshop, right clicking the file name of the opened file in progress shows an option "Reveal in Explorer" so I know exacly where the file was opened from.
In Lightroom, it is displayed in the metadata.
New to illustrator, I have looked at loads of menu options get cannot see how to find this information.
Would be grateful for some help.

+1 for what Larry said if you are on OS X. You can then scroll through and select any of the listed items and when clicked upon it will take you to that folder/location.
Not that it would offer ease of use or a better method, but you could also use a simple script to retrieve this info as another alternative method:
Example Structure:
alert("File Path/Location:\n" + File.decode(app.activeDocument.fullName));
Results the Below Alert:
alert("File Path/Location:\n" + File.decode(app.activeDocument.fullName).split('/').join('\n/ '));
Results the Below Alert:
But again, not that this approach would offer ease of use or a better method, just another alternative method (It works in my quick tests).

But i need path and have to do some calculations on it.No, you don't. If you have requirements which say you do then the requirements are wrong. You couldn't do anything useful with the path on the client system even if you could get it.
is there any alternatives in java
I need path and have to calculate MD5, Presumably you need to calculate MD5 on the contents of the file and not on the name of the file.
and convert the file to binary format.... etc oprations on itSorry, "convert a file to binary format" is basically meaningless.
but we can get the content of the file using
byte [] get()/ getString() methods
If i get content is there any performance degrades?
ie if the content is lengthy is it take more time?Take more time than what? Degrading performance from what? It's certainly true that it would be quicker to not upload the file, but that's a pointless comparison. If you have some other process to compare with, let us know what it would be.

I have a problem during the collect data and save it in file with the HP8753C

Hello,
I'm using the "HP8753 collect and display data.vi" with the functionnality "save" in file (.txt or xls).
When I'm using it to collect and save data one time to time, I have no problem. But when I would like to use it to collect and save several data with a structure "For", the HP8753 status will become blocked and the collect and save data in file is disable.
The only function "collect data" with a structure "for" is Ok but will become not OK with the option "save" in file. Why, please ?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
It sounds like your instrument is "hanging" or "freezing" when you try to read and save data from it in LabVIEW.
I took a look at the context help for that particular VI. It appears that if you attempt to read data from the HP8753 while it is also taking measurements, it can cause the instrument to hang. This may be the problem you are experiencing.
Look over your program and ensure that the instrument is not trying to take new measurements as you read data from it in LabVIEW. Sequence structures may be useful in this regard. If you are still experiencing problems, however, let me know.

Problem with LR5 Import on MAC, it always shows "file cannot be imported because it could not be read" This happens with file downloads from the memory card as well as with files from the hard drive. Happened out of the blue and I cannot figure out why. P

I need some instructions to solve this problem, has anyone had the same problems? We just got an imac and changed from windows to mac. At first LR worked perfectly, all of a sudden I cannot import pictures anymore. Please help!!

The destination directory, where Lightroom is trying to copy photos to, does not have WRITE permission. Change your permissions.

Getting the absolute path of the current executing file

I have a file which will be placed in window and linux environment. It is not good to change the source code in that way:
String path = "D:\\java\file1.txt"; (Window)
String path = "/java/file1.txt"; (Linux)
So I would like to ask how to get the absolute path based on that executing file?
I referred to the reference in jsp, but I don't know what class and the coding syntax in console environment.
Thx for any help.

If you are looking to "get" a file that is located in a directory with (or somewhere under) the class file than use
myClass.getClass().getResource(<relativePathWithFileFromClass>); //URL
myClass.getClass().getResourceAsStream(<relativePathWithFileFromClass>); //InputStreamAs far as determining which Operating System you are on, there are a number of environment variables that will tell you that, and you can then format your file path accordingly.
You can use "/" in your path regardless of which OS you are using. You do not have to use "\\" on Windows (excpet maybe inside of a Runtime.exec command string).
Here is a very small program you can compile and run if you wish to see the list of System Properties available:
public class ShowProperties {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.getProperties().list(System.out);
}Just save that to a file (named ShowProperties.java of course) and compile and run it, and you will get a list of your available System Properties and their current values
