How to get the file name dialog on the selection screen

Hi All
I have a selection screen in which there is a parameter where I need to enter file name. Instead of typing filename in the parameter I would like to give a path from presentation server ( I am downloading Data to presentation server ).
How to achive this functionality in case of a parameter on the selection screen. I need to have File open Dialog box like Windows here and then it should show the filename and it's path in this parameter after selectiong from the dialog box.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST FOR P_FILE.
Parameters p_file type rlgrap-filename.
 AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST EVENT
at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.
perform value_request.
*& Form value_request
 This subroutine proposes the possible input values *
There are no interface parameters to be passed to this subroutine. *
form value_request.
call function 'WS_FILENAME_GET'
 importing
 filename = p_file
 exceptions
 inv_winsys = 1
 no_batch = 2
 selection_cancel = 3
 selection_error = 4
 others = 5.
check sy-subrc eq 0.
endform.

there is no standard way to achieve this. I suggest a redesign.
post the files to a different directory and write a script which will move the file to the required target directory only if it is not present there.

How to get Sequence File Name ?

Hello everybody !!
I'm using TestStand 3.1 and i would like to get sequence file name. I've tried to use NameOf() function, but without success.
Of course, I've searched previous posts about the same question, but nothing works.
Is there someone able to tell me how to get sequence file name ?
Thanks a lot.
MrOrange

MrOrange,
first of all, the solution i will present only works for saved sequence files.
you got all information you need within TestStand itself, just browse for RunState.SequenceFile.Path. here you can find the filename. but the path of the file is also included in the string, so this is a part you have to get rid off.
you can use statements to extract the filename from the path. just search the string for the last occurence of "\\" (searchinreverse!) and then you can retrieve the right() part of the path. beware that right() needs the number of characters you want to extract, not the startindex!!
hope this helps,

File Upload, how to get full file name

Hi Experts,
I have to get the complete file path when I use fileupload UI Element. but I am not able to achive this.
I used a File Upload UI, with filename property mapped to string variable filename and Data mapped to a binary variable filedata.
I tried to get the file name in below ways
1. wdContext.nodefile().currentfileelement.getfilename();
and
2. through modifiablebinary type also.
but in both cases I am getting only the file name, but not the complete path.
Is there any way that I can get the file path.
If I uplod a file in D drive (example.txt),
I am getting the file name as example.txt but I want to get it as D://example.txt
Please help me,
Regards,
Srinivas

Hi
What Stream are you using for read a file ?
InputStream inputStream = resource.read(false);
File filePath = new File(inputStream.toString());
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning(filePath .getAbsolutePath());

How Does The Browser Know The "File Name" field in the "Save As" dialog

The Browser opens the "Save As" Dialog whith the value "co.com.SomeStaff" in the File name field, but and I need the name "SomeBinariFile.exe" instead.
How can I change that value?
Thanks All.

Use <%

How do I get PDF files to *automatically* save as the file name provided by the source?

When I download a PDF file in Firefox, the file name changes from whatever name source used (e.g, important-report.pdf) to a miscellaneous group of characters (e.g., X2ba5zt.pdf). I often want to save the file using the 'source' name. I realize that can so do by changing the file name, but I would like to know if there is a way to set the default so that the source file name is used.

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

How to get music file name in itunes

OK I have some music files on pc side. wav files mostly. Some of them have proper id tags, some don't. When I try to import tagged ones to itunes I get only partial info preserved. So either I have to edit tags manually, which is tedious work, either I have to burn to cd and then import. The best is last way, but there is tremendous cd waste involved. Is there easier way to import files? Is there something like virtual cd for mac? I tried using disc utility, but nothing happens. Itunes doesn't recognize files...
There are verbatim 32x cd-rw too, has anyone any experience with them? Speed is good and would solve waste problem too.
For burning I use BURN version 1.71u

Hi Bheem,
Explain your scenario in detail..
>>i need to get the file name of file in one of the node in xml content of that file.
1. Create an node Filename in the target datatype.
2. Check the Option Filename in the Adapter Specific Message Attributes in the sender file CC.
3. Use the following UDF and map it to the Filename field in the target message type.
public String getFileName(Container container)
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");

How to get full file name on MAC?

Hi,
In my plug-in, I have to get the full file name of the file opened in illustrator on MAC OS X. The following code works fine:
SPPlatformFileSpecification theFileSpec;
AIErr error = sAIDocument->GetDocumentFileSpecification(&theFileSpec);
theFileSpec.name gives the file name of the open AI File.
But, if the filename is greater than 31 characters (including extension), the returned filename is turncated to 31 characters in the format: {FIRST_22_Characters}#{5_DIGIT_NO}.ai. for example: if the file name is: 3896420_Sports_Football_Training_Top_II.ai
The returned fileName is: 3896420_Sports_Footbal#3240A.ai
Is there any other Illustrator API or a native MAC API to get the actual file name?
Please Help
Thanks,
Hitesh

Hi,
hopefully I am steering you in the right direction, but if I recall, SPPlatformFileSpecification is an FSSpec, have you tried FSpMakeFSRef and seeing if the problem persists once converted to an FSRef?

How do i put the file name right on the photo?

how do I put the file extension number or name right on my photo for clients to order?

Or put the file name as Copyright in Metadata and add Watermark (Simple Copyright) on Export!
A plugin called LR/Transporter could probably automate that. However, I don't think many people will want to do this once all usages of the image are considered!
So an export plugin called LR/Mogrify (which calls in the utility ImageMagick as an output processor) would be the next suggestion. This should let you put more or less whatever image parameter you want, onto the image as an automated label - also add borders outside or inside the image boundary, place the thumbnail inside a larger square canvas, a few other options. Then that can all be saved as a LR export preset for greater convenience and repeatability in the future.

Getting the file name before downloading the data

Hello,
i got following to downloading a file from the net,
is there is a way to find out the file name of the downloading file if the url is eg; www.somewhere.com/?file=33
OutputStream out = null;
          URLConnection conn = null;
          InputStream in = null;
          try {
               URL url = new URL(address);
               out = new BufferedOutputStream(
                    new FileOutputStream(localFileName));
               conn = url.openConnection();
               in = conn.getInputStream();
               byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
               int numRead;
               long numWritten = 0;
               while ((numRead = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                    out.write(buffer, 0, numRead);
                    numWritten += numRead;
               }

Check the response headers. You can use [URLConnection#getHeaderField()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URLConnection.html#getHeaderField(java.lang.String)] for this. It may be available in the [content-disposition|http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec19.html#sec19.5.1] header.
