Getting filename of launching file
hi, I have a program that can be run using Program.exe (which simply launches Data/Program.jar) or by running Data/Program.jar. How can I get the filename of the program that launched it?
Basically I need to know this because it will modify the user.dir system property. I don't want to go the route (if last 4 char's equals "Data", remove them from user.dir string. Because what if someone decides to name the "Program Folder", "Data"
Structure:
Program Folder
-- Program.exe (APPLICATION)
-- Data (FOLDER)
����-- Program.jar (EXECUTABLE JAR FILE)
thanks.
ok I have a solution but I'm still intereted in the answer to this question. Thanks.
If you're interested, I'm just going to have the .exe program pass an argument to main in the jar file.

Get filename from uploaded file then place in input tags
i have an upload feature with the use of upBean and i can get the filname thru filename=file.getFileName
when i place in the input tags it takes an error what i suppose to do
<input type="hidden" name="getfilename" value="<%=filename%>">
if (MultipartFormDataRequest.isMultipartFormData(request)) {
// Uses MultipartFormDataRequest to parse the HTTP request.
MultipartFormDataRequest mrequest = new MultipartFormDataRequest(request);

String checkfilename=mrequest.getParameter("uploadfile");
if (mrequest != null) todo = mrequest.getParameter("todo");
if ( (todo != null) && (todo.equalsIgnoreCase("upload")) ) {
Hashtable files = mrequest.getFiles();

I replaced messageFileUpload (binded to blob table column) with messageStyledText (binded to filename attribute). Above the table placed single messageFileUpload and submitButton nearby. After user select file on submit I do:
*if (pageContext.getParameter("DoUploadButton") != null) {*
.. DataObject fileUploadData = pageContext.getNamedDataObject("FileData");
.. *if (fileUploadData != null) {*
.... String fileName = (String)fileUploadData.selectValue(null, "UPLOAD_FILE_NAME");
.... String contentType = (String)fileUploadData.selectValue(null, "UPLOAD_FILE_MIME_TYPE");
.... BlobDomain fileContent = (BlobDomain)fileUploadData.selectValue(null, fileName);
.... String seqNumber = pageContext.getParameter("seqNumber");
.... am.insertInstanceAttachRowBlob(seqNumber, fileName, fileContent, contentType);
.... pageContext.removeNamedDataObject("FileData");
.. return;

Get filename for batch file update
Hello. I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I am making a batch sequence to convrt documents. AS part of the sequence, I'd like to cahnge the Title property to match the filename. I have added the Description command, and can see how to add standard text (such as 'Document Title') fro every file, but how can I make it dynamic so that it uses whatever the filename is?
VERY close. I added an 'Execute Javascript' command to the batch sequence, and used the formula you provided (and thank you for that!). The problem seems to be that when the sequence saves the new pdf, it has a title (or filename at that point) of 'ADPFF1.tmp' and numerically increments for each file that it processes, even though the original filename gets assigned to the new pdf file. Any ideas?

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. -
How can I get a filename without the file extension?
I using a JFileChooser to select and read a file. Now I want to get the filename without the file extension
JFileChooser j = new JFileChooser;
String file = j.getSelectedFile.getName();
At the moment I get this result "file.dat". I need only the filename.....
Thank you
ThomasIt's quite that.
Here is the code to do that (and the method to get only the extension):
public String getFileName(String text) {
int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
return text.substring(0, ind);
return(null);
public String getFileExtension(String text) {
int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
return text.substring(ind+1).toLowerCase();
return(null);
}(I used 0<ind instead of ind>0 because with the code formatting there is a bug with > )
I hope this helps,

How can I fix error code 131:4? Licensing for this product stopped working. I have windows vista home edition and CS4 Design Premium. I downloaded licensing zip file for windows but I can't seem to get it to launch. Look forward to help from anyone
Steve,
I appreciate your answer. While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change. Yes, it might work. The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro? Any issues with anyone else?
Thanks Steve. I do appreciate your offering a solution. I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

Error is not getting logged in error file while running dataload maxl
Hello All,
I am running a Maxl to load data in a database which is running fine but noted a weird issue that the errors are not getting logged in error file. Suppose i changed the name of data file then it should give error something like
ERROR - {Error no.} - Unable to open file {filename} which should be logged in error file but my error file is still empty.
I am using the Maxl -
import database {dbname} data from data_file {filename} on error append to "D:/Error/errorfile.err";
Any inputs please...
ThanksTry to use single quotes and the backslash. It may depend on the operating system and /or the version of essbase used. This is an example from one of my maxls:

POWER QUERY Get External Data From File From Folder (Excel 2013)
Hi,
Beginner's question :
What could be the use of the query on a folder : we just get a list of files with their path. What can we do with that?
ThanksHi,
Do you want to combine data from multiple Excel Files in the same folder path into one table? If I understand correct, we can add a custom column to import the data.
After we getting a list of files with their path, the Query Editor window will activate to show you a table containing a record for each file in the chosen directory. These will provide our function with the needed FilePath and FileName parameters.
Function sample: File name([Folder path],[Field name]
For more detailed steps, please see the article:

Getting Filename without Path in a CFC
Hi All,
I'm attempting to use a CFC/Event Gateway to get the filename of a file that has landed in a directory.
What I'm getting instead is the full path with the filename.
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="onAdd" access="public" returntype="void" output="false">
<cfargument name="CFEvent" type="struct" required="true">
<cfset var data = arguments.CFEvent.data>
<cfset var filename = arguments.CFEvent.data.filename>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
I know that the above code isn't complete, but I think it's what 'counts' here.
The value that I'm getting back for the 'filename' variable is similar to this:
C:\WebSite\Some_Directory\Another_Directory\filename.ext
What I want is just the filename (filename.ext) part of that line.
It appears that arguments.CFEvent.data.filename doesnt do it, and I've tried all kinds of combinations like 'filename', 'serverfile.filename', 'data.filename' and so on, but I must just be missing it.
I found a workaround for what I'm trying to do with the CFC, but it would be a lot easier if I just knew what I need to use in the code to just pull the filename of the file that was dropped into the directory. (Using the DirectoryWatcher)
If anyone can help out with how to do this, it would be appreciated
I've been at this for ten hours and feel like Captain Noob right about now.
Thanks!

You're missing nothing. It is simply that ColdFusion stores the file in the CFEvent struct as an absolute path. It makes sense, of course. The functionality is directory-watcher, so one should be able to derive information about the directory structure of the added file. -
Error Message: "A virus was detected in FILENAME. This file will not be uploaded"
I have been synching files using Creative Cloud Connect for many months. During the past few weeks, I get the message "Some files failed to sync". When I click on "Learn more", it has 3 files there and all have the message "A virus was detected in filename . This file will not be uploaded". I scanned all three files with AVG and Malwarebytes (installed on my system) and both report that there is no virus in those files. I have tried to chat with support but I could not find any resolution with them. I believe that I never got to the right place. I was connected with 5 different people. At the end of the last discussion I spoke to Adobe Captivate support. It so happens that the files with that error are all Adobe Captivate files. But that support also concluded that they couldn't help. I could not find similar entries in the forums either. Did anyone else have this problem?
I appreciate any help.
AngelaNo unfortunately, I have not. I spent over an hour on the phone with them already regarding this topic. In the end, the support in Adobe Captivate (that's the 5th support group they connected me to) told me that I wasn't allowed to upload Captivate files since Adobe Captivate 8 is not a CC application and that's why the problem was happening. I am absolutely sure that this is untrue since I have many Captivate files on CC. I think the key will be to get to the right support group. Good luck! I really hope you find a solution. Keep me informed. Thanks.

I need to get the filename of the file retrieve from database (that is retrieveFileFromDatabase) at the time the user clicks the link but all i get is all the filename of the files retrieve...

What Happens? An error? Or it just doesn't give you what you want. For instance, Take a look at the source code, find that link, and see what is there. Compare this to what you think it should look like. For instance, I would guess, what you think should happen is the html should be:

But what you are actually getting is:

In a FM 11 book, how can I display filename w/o file location?
In a FrameMaker book, how can I display filename without the file's location on the hard drive?
For example, The book would list:
"MyFile.fm"
instead of
C:\windows\documents\Framefiles\XYZ Company\widgets\draft_2013_1111\MyFile.fm
If this cannot be done, then how can I get the book to list a name for the added file other than the name of the first heading in the file contents?Check out the little toggle icon beside the magnifying glass in the book tab – you can swap back and forth between “Display Heading Text” and “Display File Names”

Photoshop CS 5.5 - "Could not save [filename] because the file is locked..........."
Hi,
We have a few iMacs here all running 10.8.4 - we have PhotoShop CS 5.5 and all the artwork etc is saved on a shared server ( Windows 2008 r2) and we are forever getting these problems......
Only in photoshop we get the following error message......
"Could not save [filename] because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privilege. Use the 'Get info' command in the finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders"
Can't see this been an access issue so really don't know whats causing this other than the fact it's just server based...
Please please please somebody help.I have been hqving this issue on windows after I upgraded to internet explorer 10 and using outlook (hotmail.com) to attach images to an email.
After a file saved via photoshop (i assum any programe not just photoshop will cause this problem) is attached in outlook to an email, IE10 will not let go of that file. meaning if you update the image in Photoshop and try and save over the existing jpg you previously attached it will give this error, file locked or file permissions needed etc.
Just posting this info incase you are using email to attach files and then getting these permisssion problems.
I work around it by closing the outlook browser tab (the email), so it lets go of the file, I can then save ontop of the file no problem, I then open outlook as needed.
