How to get immediate parent directory name of a file

Hi,
I have file Object that points to a file. I want to know how I can get just the name of the parent immediate to the file For example, if the path of this file is, c:\\ProgramFiles\first\second\third\myFile.txt
In the above, how can I obtain the last directory in which myFile.txt resides ?
Thanks
Sangeetha

File myFile = new File("c:\\ProgramFiles\\first\\second\\third\\myFile.txt");
File parentFile = myFile.getParentFile();
String parentDirectory = parentFile.getName();
System.out.println("Parent directory is "+parentDirectory);Here's the explanation...
1) New File is created
2) File.getParentFile returns the immediate parent of the current File, which happens to be a directory.
3) File.getName() returns the name of the File, without the entire directory structure.
Hope this helps :)

How to get Immediate Parent Node of UID

Hi,
Iam implementing a search criteria over the basis of UID.
Suppose if I will have a UID within LDAP Directory then I have to search for its property. If this property is not available within the context of UID then I want UID's Immediate parent so I can search through it.
My Question is how can I get the immediate parent of any UID without knowing it.

How to get the pull path name from a file upload window

Hello everyone!
I have encountered the following problem with the following JSP code:
<form method="post" action="filename.jsp">
Upload JAVA program:
<input type=file size=20 name="fname" accept="java">
<input type=submit value="go">
</form>
<%
String s = "";
if (request.getParameter("fname") != null)
s = request.getParameter("fname")
%>
The value of s is alway the filename. However I want to get the full path in addition to the filename, so that I can read the file. Does anyone know how to get the pull name of the file?
thanks a lot in advance,

Dear Sir,
thanks a lot for your reply. Please let me explain what I intended to do: I want to upload a file from the local machine and then read the content of the file. Therefore I need to the fullpath of the filename like /var/local/file.java instead of file.java. The latter is what I got.
The problem I have with your code is that the function like "request.getServerScheme()" is not recognized. Maybe is it because I didn't install servelet package? I only installed javax package btw. Also my application runns on Tomcat server if this could give you some information. The error message I had is as follows:

How to get the full path name of a file

Hey everybody, I'm new here and in Java.
so I will explain my question by giving an example:
I want to send file from the Desktop by the "Send to" on the popup menu to my program.
I want to know how can I read the full path name and the file name, and show it on my text box.
Thanx alot

If this is a client side application then I'd say look into drag-n-drop tutorials.
i.e. drag file to your application, action listener fires, create File object giving you full name and path of users action.
If this is a web application then look into the "multipart/form-data" content type specifications on how to upload files.
i.e. user specifies file from <input type='file' ... /> type, submits, servlet receives data and recreates file locally on application server side.
If you are thinking that all you need to send a file to a program is the full path and name in a textbox its a little bit more complicated then that.
Good luck, hope that helps!

How to get LR using unique names for each file?

Hey there,
I see LR does modify the name of the File when there is already one file with the same name in the folder of import, but once you choose a different folder it does import the File with the original name. I just realized that over the years using Folders such as Pictures 2009, Pictures 2010 and so on, I have three or four times Files with the same Name. Is there a way to tell LR to always use unique names when it imports?

Use a date-description-sequence.ext naming template for renaming as you import [or if you prefer after you import]. This means you never have duplicates unless you for some bizarre reason use same name description for two sets of files on same day. And if you need to do just that, simply make the start number of second/third lot of files be one number greater than previous batch from same day.
You can set up what ever naming format you desire in file rename dialogue and have that as your default.
Leaving files names as they come out of the camera is asking for big trouble as invariably they will duplicate, which is not a good idea even if in different folders.
F2 gets you renaming dialogue when in Library.

How to get the parent of a component in fx?

Here is an example:

    scene:Scene {
    fill: Color.WHITE

        font: Font {size:11 name: "Verdana Bold"}
        action: function() {
            showHello();
function showHello(){
   // add a label in index.fx whose text is "welcome!";
    }I want to show something on the index.fx but I don't know how to get the parent from the child component?
In Flex, we use parent or parentApplication, Is there a similar function in JavaFX?

Reusing the same Tile example, I had no problems, I suppose I was doing wrong the first time:
def IMAGES_WIDTH = 100;
def IMAGES_HEIGHT = 100;
var COLUMN_NB = 3;
var ROW_NB = 3;
var scene: Scene;
var previews: Container;
Stage
title: "Test of Tile layout"
scene: scene = Scene
    width: 500
    height: 500
    fill: Color.LAVENDER
    content:
      previews = Tile
        hgap: 10
        vgap: 10
        layoutX: bind (scene.width - previews.width) / 2
        layoutY: bind (scene.height - previews.height) / 2
        columns: COLUMN_NB
        content: for (i in [ 1 .. COLUMN_NB * ROW_NB ])
          ImageView
            id: "IV{i}"
            image: Image
              url: "{__DIR__}clock.gif"
              width: IMAGES_WIDTH
              preserveRatio: true
            onMousePressed: Hide
function Hide(evt: MouseEvent): Void
println("{evt.node} ({evt.node.id}) - {evt.node.parent}");
var nm: Node = evt.node.parent.lookup("IV5"); // Middle node
nm.visible = false;
var ntl: Node = evt.node.parent.lookup("IV1"); //Top left node
(ntl as ImageView).viewport = Rectangle2D { height: IMAGES_WIDTH/2, width: IMAGES_WIDTH/2 };
(evt.node.parent as Tile).hgap = 20; // Strange effect, but works
}

how to get the store procedure name inside this store procedure?

Why cant you get the procedure name as hard code as the proc name is going to change.
Are you looking for getting the parent proc name from child proc name which is getting executed within parent proc?
Try the below:
--Parent Proc
Alter Proc sp_test
as
Begin
Declare @s varbinary(MAX) = Cast('sp_test' as Varbinary(MAX));
SET CONTEXT_INFO @s;
exec sp_test2
End
--Child proc

How to get a parameter without name in JSP?

hi everyone, My question is how to get a parameter without name in JSP? I have two pages, 1.html and 2.jsp.
in 1.html, I embeds some Javascript codes in HTML contents like below ( changed < to ( , > to )):
function toSubWin( obj )
window.open('test.jsp?'+obj.firstChild.toString(),'sw');
(a onClick='toSubWin(this)'style="background:green")focus(/a)
How can I get the parameter in 2.jsp?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

Does obj.firstChild.toString() evaluate to a "name=value" type of String ?
Or better what does obj.firstChild.toString(),'sw' evaluate to ? It has to end up in a name=value format, else its just gibberish appended to the url.
In the jsp, you have to obviously know the name to get the parameter. There's a getParameterNames() method which returns you a Collection of parameter names as Strings, you could probably use that to retrieve the param values.
Then there's a getParameterMap() method which returns an immutable Map containing parameter names as keys and parameter values as map values. The keys in the parameter map are of type String. The values in the parameter map are of type String array.
However to what ends you employ them in a program which doesnt know its inputs is a different story.
cheers,
ram.

How to get the current schema name

Hi,
Can anybody please tell me how to get the current schema name, there is some inbuilt function for this,but i am not getting that. Please help me.
Thanks
Jogesh

ok folks, I found the answer at Tom's as usual.
http://asktom.oracle.com/tkyte/who_called_me/index.html
I rewrote it into a function for kicks. just pass the results of DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_CALL_STACK to this function and you will get back the owner of the code making the call as well some extra goodies like the name of the code and the type of code depending on the parameter. This ignores the AUTHID CURRENT_USER issues which muddles the schemaid. Quick question, does the average user always have access to DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_CALL_STACK or does this get locked down on some systems?

How to get the parent window in sub-child controller class in javafx?

how to get the parent window in sub-child controller class in javafx?

You can get the window in which a node is contained with
Window window = node.getScene().getWindow();Depending when this is invoked, you might want to check the Scene is not null before calling getWindow().
If the window is a stage that is owned by another window, you can get the "parent" or "owner" window with
Window owner = null ;
if (window instanceof Stage) {
Stage stage = (Stage) window ;
owner = stage.getOwner();
}

Restore
Note: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure toback up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library.
How to restore your iPod:For Windows:
1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
6. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
7. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
8. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.
For Mac:
1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
