How to call a variable file path in javascript

Hi,
My objective is to capture a file path on mac and windows. However, this file path gets changed with various users.
For example the path is:
c:\user\username\AppData\Local\Temp\myfolder------> this is for windows machine
/users/username/Library/Application Support/tempfolder/Temporary Files/-------> this is for mac machine
As you can see, the path will be same for all the machines. Only the difference will be in searching the user and username at the start of file path. Rest folders will remain same on all the machines.
Is there any grep pattern through which I can call this complete path in a variable for all the users.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Abhi

Hi,
You are able to check OS:
var currOS = $.os;
regarding to value of this string you can switch to various paths

How Do I get a File Path from a FileName?

Hi there,
I was wondering how do i get a file path(i.e) directory only from a file name.
Say i got a file called "C:\Test.txt" is there a method in java that will allow me to only get "C:\"?
I've tried getPath(), getAbsolutePath() and they all return the directory and the file itself.
Please Help
James

String path = file.getPath();
String name = file.getName();
int i=0;
for(i=0; i< (path.length()-name.lenth() ); i++){
String temp = path.substring(i, i+name.length());
if(temp.equals(name) break;
return path.substring(0,i);

Any web app creating tutorial can. You know, if this doesn't ring a bell with you at all, I don't really feel inclined to explain it to you because I think you shouldn't yet be dealing with JEE in the first place.

Hopeless. Are you by any chance a rare gas? You seem completely inert. LOL You totally pwned him there :rolls eyes:
well, no, I think he's looking for something to this degree:
in HTML, there is a mailto: command that makes the system default handled way to email emails open up. He's looking for a command thats very nice and opens a html file in the system default browser.
So, Dick, Runtime.exec would work execpt that he needs a way to find the default system browser to call exec on, AND he has to know how to pass html file locations to the executable via command line arguments
He just didnt try to phrase it at all :P

DIAdem doesn't have a method to open .chm files because these files are Microsoft help files, rather than DIAdem specific help files. However, there is a KnowledgeBase on Microsoft's web page that may be of help. You can find this document at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209843. I found this by doing a web search for "Programmatically open .chm". I hope this helps you.
