Reading the name of a directory

Hi all,
I need to read the names of all files and directories available in a folder stored on my PC.
I would be thankful if someone could point be to a class and its method which is best suited for this to be done.
thanks in advance,
@debug

d@mn me and my inability to correctly type in words.
but yes i ment File.
It has a listFiles() method and an isDirectory()
method. With those two and a loop you should be able to do it.

My iPod Shuffle won't read the name of playlists or songs

I got my first iPod shuffle 4GB... everything's working fine but just when I click and hold the centre button it won't tell me the names of the song... or when I try to change playlists it will tell me "playlist 1... playlist 2... playlist 3" instead of the names of the playlists. Though I can see the names in my iTune.
Can anyone help me...? Thanks a lot.. I was actually really looking forward to this name-reading function..
Cheers

Thank you so much - yes it will read the names of the songs and playlist now! Thanks a lot for your help, without your answer i probably won't be able to figure it out myself. Cheers!

Error while reading file name in a directory

Hi,
I am trying to read all the file names within a directory, however I get the below error while running the code.
Run-time error '5':
Invalid procedure call or argument
The actual path is "Q:\Budget\Historical Budgets\FY15\*.xls*"
and ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value = FY15 in my excel sheet.
"Below is the code I am using"
Dim file As Variant
file = Dir("Q:\Budget\Historical Budgets\" & ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value & "\*.xls*")
If file = "" Then
 MsgBox "no files"
 Exit Sub
 Else
 ' ... else, count the files
 x = 0
 Do While file <> ""
 x = x + 1
 file = Dir

Could you please help me to solve this problem

How to read the "Name" field from document library in workflow?

Hi,
The task I'm trying to accomplish looks pertty simple: I need to read a value of the item's "Name" field inside the workflow. I try to do it using LookupSPListItem and GetDynamicValueProperties activities. I can get value of the "Title"
field, also I created custom field and can read it too.
But the "Name" field always comes empty.
I guess I need to use some tricky syntax or this field has some different "internal name"?
The workflow is designed in VS 2013.

Thank you. Looks correct, since when I enter this path (FileLeafRef) into GetDynamicValueProperties
and change Entity Type to list of documents it changes to Name
automatically.
But somehow it doesn't work too. (:
I also tried LinkFilenameNoMenu and LinkFilename
- same result.
EDIT: Solved. :)
Looks like FileLeafRef is not loaded by default by LookupSPListItem, so you have to pass this property name via
Properties collection. The bad news is that in this case other properties won't be loaded if you didn't add them to this collection.
Anyway, it works. :)

How to read the name of .csv file from a particular folder using Oracle.

Gurus,
I have a folder called 'data_dir' in Oracle Server and it contains 10 different .csv files and the name of the each file is being suffixed by date and time(24 hrs format).
First i need to read all the file names then i have to process those files by UTL_FILE to load the data into a relational table.
Is there any mechanism is available in Oracle to read the file names?
(In this case all the 10 different csv file names)
If so, then please help me accomplish this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venugopal.K

Is there any mechanism is available in Oracle to read the file names?Sounds to me like you need to use External Tables (*not* utl_file).

Read the name of a parent node of a (static) Tree UI in WebDynPro Abap

hi Experts,
I have a tree control UI that has two levels of nodes from the Root node. Year & Month. Inside the Month Node there is always only one leaf that is called Current Schedule. User clicks on Current Schedule to view the Current Schedule. This could be any month's Current Schedule of the User's choice.
Thus, I need to know which month's current schedule is chosen by the user. My tree UI is an adaptation from WDT_TREE example from Std SAP example programs. For the chosen month to be known, I have to go up in the context node hierarchy by one level? (something like, get_parent of) from the current leaf. I am not sure how would i do it. Any pointers would be greatly helpful. I tried to pick up ideas from couple of tutorials and bunch of forum posts but I did not get anywhere.
The key to my requirement is just going up one level in the tree and get to know the 'name' of that node. That will tell me the Month of the User's choice.
Thanks in advance for your helpful answers/pointers

Thanks Bala Duvvuri,
Could you please elaborate a bit more on your tip. I am a fledgling OO abapper not 'really' knowing as much OO as I should ..!!
By the way,I found out, I could apply the same OnAction method in the WDT_TREE example shown at the final leaf level to the node level as well to read the text of Month Node. It worked out and it meets my purpose with a rider..!
In order to get this Month node text for the selected 'Current Schedule' leaf, User have to click on the Month Node that opens the Current Schedule Leaf. If they clicked on the triangle beside the node, it still opens the Month Node to reveal the Current Schedule leaf, but the Month name wont be captured until User expressly clicked on Month Node first or the Folder Icon associated with it..!!
In other words, User cannot click on the left side triangle; if they did to reach the Current Schdule, the program wont work properly. This is no good, though i could talk my way through with the User to accept this. But technically i know it is possible to know the month name from a given Current Schedule leaf in the tree,though dont know how ..!!
Your bit more detailed reply would help me implement the more elegant solution than pushing the user to accept what i did.
As I await your reply i shall try to pick up from your tip.
In the meanwhile my tree has grown ..!! to have two more nodes, in which the contents need to be dynamically populated. Guess I am in for a long haul with the Tree UI
Looking to hear more. Thanks heaps again.

Mail running under LIon no longer grays out the name of the sender of an email that has been read. How can I get that to happen?

Under the old version of Mail, when an e-mail was read, the name of the sender was greted out so that I knew I had read that email. This does not seem to happen under the new Mail thaqt came with Lion. Help!?

Kirk,
Thanks again for your suggestions. No, I don't get an
error message. In fact nothing happens. My name and
key are typed in and from what I understand, once you
do that with a real key it directs you to the
registration page. When I get done entering the
information the window just sits there without any
button or option to continue.
QT Pro is already in the QT (non-pro) you installed and the key (which is a hash of your name in part) allows the Pro features to work.
No redirect, internet, nothing like that. As such many people have activated and think they haven't. Just look at the menu items and see if the "Pro" logo is shown next to a few (which are greyed out and not available without Pro). If not you are done.

MDM Sender Channel - reading file name

Hi all,
Is there any simple way to read the name of file sent by MDM when I am using MDM sender adapter ?
I know if it's file sender channel, then we can read file name by writing a UDF. But just wondering about MDM sender adapter.
Regards,

Hi Paul,
you can always delete this inside your mapping:
for instance trim the first 13 letters from /home/example
then if your directory is always the same you'll have a filename only

Modifying the name of a file generated by a servlet

Hi!
I have a servlet called co.com.SomeStaff who reads a binary file from the server an responses it to the client, but the name that appears when the browser tries to save it is "co.com.SomeStaff" and I need the "SomeBinariFile.exe" instead. How can iI do this?
I've tried to modify the Headers but....
I need it as soon as posible.
Thanks All.

I assume you are creating the file as a java.io.File object. Under those circumstances you should be able to specify the name and target directory when you save it:File f = new File(directory+System.getProperty("file.separator")+filename);Or, if you have already named it:
f.renameTo("file.txt");Actually, now I look at it, I may have totally misunderstood what you are trying to do there- are you naming it right in the hyperlink?
