How to format a variable (file name)

Hi,
I'm setting up a book consisting of 34 individual files. Each filename with this structure: "1.4 - Chapter name", "2.4 - Chapter name" etc.
On the top of the masterpage I have insert the variable file_name in a text-box. This is straight forward and works as should.
Now my problem: how can I format the variable, so the numerical chapter No. is separated from the text part? My aim is to place the numerical on each page aligned away from spine and to place the text part centered.
Of course it is possible to override the MP in each document, but would require 78 manual interventions (34 documents left/right),
Has anyone a solution, or found a way to accomplish what I try to achieve?
FYI I'm a rookie with InDesign :-)
Erling

As far as InDesign is concerned a variable is a single character, so it cannot be split. You can sometimes accomplish what you need to do with a Running Header (Character Style) variable by assigning various character styles to different parts of a text string (the styles can be nothing more than style names with no attributes), but I don't see a way to get the file name automatically and be able to split it.

Change in time stamp format in receiver file name

Hi,
We have a scenario as AS2 - PI - FTP Server (AS/400). We want target file name as BMMDDHHSS where B is constant and
MM (month e.g., 01), DD (day e.g., 12), HH (hour e.g.,11), SS (seconds e.g., 12). Is there standard way of doing this, just by changing some configuration in receiver file adpter?
Please let me know, how could we do this using PI. If script is optional, keeping as back-up only.
How come, naming dynamic receiver file names are so difficult in PI. I have been trying to get the answers for our another requirement like to name receiver file as C1.YYMMDD.C2 in a file pass through scenario for more than a month.
It is just file through scenarios, so we can't use variable substitution as we are not going to read content/payload of file
Thanks in advance,

Hi Shabarish
Thanks for your reply. I have trying to make this UDF work since almost a month with no luck. Can you please check where am I doing wrong?
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String SourceFileName = "C1." + a + ".C2";
conf.put(key, SourceFileName);
return " ";
In the above code, I am passing date as "a". And mapping CurrentDate (formatted) --> UDF --> Target root node.
I am getting the following error in SXMB_MONI:
<SAP:Code area="MAPPING">EXCEPTION_DURING_EXECUTE</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_Lockbox_Filename_</SAP:P1>
<SAP:P2>com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException</SAP:P2>
<SAP:P3>Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.Parser~</SAP:P3>
<SAP:Stack>com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException thrown during application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_Lockbox_Filename_: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.Parser~</SAP:Stack>
Your help would be much appreciated.

How can I assign image file name from Main() class

I am trying to create library class which will be accessed and used by different applications (with different image files to be assigned). So, what image file to call should be determined by and in the Main class.
Here is the Main class
import org.me.lib.MyJNIWindowClass;
public class Main {
public Main() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyJNIWindowClass mw = new MyJNIWindowClass();
mw.s = "clock.gif";
And here is the library class
package org.me.lib;
public class MyJNIWindowClass {
public String s;
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/" + s);
public MyJNIWindowClass() {
JLabel jl = new JLabel(image);
JFrame jf = new JFrame();
jf.add(jl);
jf.setVisible(true);
jf.pack();
I do understand that when I am making reference from main() method to MyJNIWindowClass() s first initialized to null and that is why clock could not be seen but how can I assign image file name from Main() class for library class without creating reference to Main() from MyJNIWindowClass()? As I said, I want this library class being accessed from different applications (means different Main() classes).
Thank you.

Your problem is one of timing. Consider this simple example.
public class Example {
    public String s;
    private String message = "Hello, " + s;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example();
        ex.s = "world";
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
}When this code is executed, the following happens in order:
1. new Example() is executed, causing an object to constructed. In particular:
2. field s is given value null (since no value is explicitly assigned.
3. field message is given value "Hello, null"
4. Back in method main, field s is now given value "world", but that
doesn't change message.
5. Finally, "Hello, null" is output.
The following fixes the above example:
public class Example {
    private String message;
    public Example(String name) {
        message = "Hello, " + name;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example("world");
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
}

Actually, I really don't know what you say.
But when you see the properties of a file in Windows, you can see there are two file size. One is called "SIze" and the other one is called "Size on disk".
Therefore, I would like to know the size on disk but not just the size.

      extension         = gv_file_ext
      name              = gv_filename.
CONCATENATE gv_filename '.' gv_file_ext INTO gv_filename.
p_file = gv_filename.
I hope it helps.

How do i sort by (file) name

How do i sort by file name for an album? I organize the photos from all different sources.. by filename.. and when i import them i just want them in the right order. This has to be one of the most basic functions and why was it eliminated from iPhoto?
Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
Apple: this minimalist crap is getting old.. THIS IS A desktop PC..not an ipad or iphone. Put some meat in the menus and stop worrying so much about everything being pretty and streamlined.
C'mon!!!.. wasted time

Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
"Keep sorted by date" can only be toggled on and off for regular albums, not for smart albums.

InfoPath 2013: How to find the current file name?

Hello,
Is there any way to find the file name in the rule formulas when an existing xml file in a sharepoint form library is being edited in InfoPath? I am looking for a function that returns the current file name that is being edited.
Thank you,

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to get the current file name in the InfoPath form.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

How can I edit the file name of the home page?

How can I edit the file name of the home page?
Gr Ammani

I have a similar issue with regards to the filename...
When I navigate to my website, it doesnt work unless I actually type the filename at the end of it. Example: type in "www.whitelion.com" (this is my real domain name) and it doesnt work. When I type in "www.whitelion.com/index.html" then it works.
This is obviously inconvenient because my clients will never know to add the filename to the end of the site.
Is there any setting or way to get the page to appear by just typing the original domain name without adding the extension?
Thanks,

How to find PG.xml file name and path assoicated with above funtion.

Ashok,
Function IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE will have 2 parameter defined for it which are OASF and OAHP where
OASF=<SelectedFunctionName> - this tells the Framework to select this function in the given "Home Page" menu context.
OAHP=<HomePageMenuName> - this is used ONLY with the OASF parameter, and it is used to establish the current menu context. It should point to a "Home Page" menu.

How do I get the file name?

I'm kind of new to javascript -- working with a colleague who has Adobe Acrobat Professional -- I've got an *old* version of Adobe Acrobat and most of the functions don't work -- but how do we get the file name -- we're trying to develop an application -- so if the user opens c:\something.pdf, we'd like to know the file name (something.pdf).
If we get a fully qualified path, that's fine -- I think I can parse it.
Thank you in advance.

The 'paty' property of the 'doc' object has been available since version 3.01.
