Require a file dialog that will give PATH?

I am studying file management and want to incorporate a file-bean in a program. I want to use preferably a bean similar to found on windows system that will navigate to folders on your system and get the PATH to that file. What is important is the "PATH" to file or folder and not the actual navigationability. I am thinking of something similar to that found on websites where you can "upload" files or download (save) files.
I want to use a file-bean since I want to be able to integrate this bean into a larger web application.
Does any of the gurus know where I may find such a file-bean or have used such a bean in their own development?

I don't know much about beans, but if you want to get the full path of a named file, you can use the getAbsolutePath() method of the File class.
    String pathToFile = MyFile.getAbsolutePath();Hope that helps.

  • HT1414 I have disabled the auto synch on connection of the IPhone5 and now ITunes will not show the iphone  as available. How can I find the dialog that will give me control over backup's?

    Where -on iTunes - can I find a control that will enable me to synch the Iphone.
    The auto synch on attaching is turned off

    There is no merge feature for itunes content, never was. Merge applies only to contacts and calendar entries.
    The itunes content sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases
    You can transfer the purchases from the iphone to itunes before you sync. File>Transfer Purchases

    Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

    1) you know about SNEEP

    The answer to your original quetion is:
    No, there is nothing already in Solaris 9 that lets you type a command and get a serial number.

  • What is the most sensible way to extend a wifi signal. I am in a cinderblock house and I have to buy something that will give me a single network but added range from my airport extreme base station.

    What is the most sensible way to extend a wifi signal. I am in a cinderblock house and I have to buy something that will give me a single network but added range from my airport extreme base station.

    Use an Airport Express. Configure the AEBS to allow it's wireless network to be extended. This is a dropdown menu option under the Wireless tab. Configure the Airport Express to Extend an Existing Network also under it's Wireless tab. You will need to provide the name of your network used in the AEBS as well as the network's access password.

    You can get Mifi devices (the iPad connects to it via wifi and they then give access to 3G networks). I've never used one and I don't know if they are available in Canada (and if so how much they would cost). If you have an iPhone then you could also use that as a mobile hotspot

    What is with these instructors? So far today I have

    Format numbers, but don't use NumberFormat
    and now this.
    What are these people trying to teach?
    Java??? I don't think so.Perhaps it is because these instructors are learning Java at the same time as their students. They are only one chapter ahead of the students. :(

  • File Dialog can return incorrect path when selecting Windows special folders

    I found an interesting bug when writing an application today. Basically the File Dialog express VI can return the wrong path if selecting special folders in some circumstances. This bug seems especially tough to track down, but I think I managed to figure it out. Steps to reproduce using LabVIEW 8.6.1 on Windows XP:
    Use LabVIEW's File > Open... command to open any VI that is not located directly on your desktop. You MUST use the File > Open... command as this will set the working directory for the dialog box.
    Close the VI (all we cared about was ensuring the working directory was set).
    Create a new VI.
    Place the File Dialog express VI onto the diagram (Programming > File I/O > Advanced File Functions > File Dialog).
    Configure the express VI to select a folder and an existing item, leave the selection enabled to limit to a single item.
    Create an indicator to show the returned path from the dialog.
    Run the VI. Navigate to either your Desktop via the large button on the left, or the pull down menu up top.
    Click the "Current Folder" button.
    Observe how the VI returns whatever the original location of the dialog box was, not the desktop directory.
    I have not confirmed this bug on other operating systems but following the steps above reproduces it on my system.

    This is a very unusual problem you are having.  I tried it on another PC in the office and it did not show the problem you are experiencing.  Are you able to replicate this every time, or only occasionally?  Are you able to see this on other computers?  Do you see this same problem using other software on the computer?  Do you have the most recent updates from Microsoft?  Perhaps the answer to these questions can help shed some light on the problem at hand.

  • How do I create a timesheet on numbers that will give me a weekly total as well as an hourly total?

    I am currently enrolled in an internship, and I need to sumbit an timesheet every week, as well as one at the end of my internship showing the overall hours that I worked. How do I create a Time sheet that will show my start time, end time, total hours for the day, total hours for the week, and total overall hours. If possible can someone please show me step by step how to do this or give me a template I can go off of.

    Hi j,
    Take a look at the Employee Schedule template in the business section of the Template Chooser.
    With a few modifications, it should do what you need.
    Start by renaming the main table to reflect the new focus—you—then replace the names in row 1 with the Sunday dates of the weeks being recorded. Each column will then report your total house for one week (in row 25). You can use SUM() to total these in a separate cell or on a separate tabel.
    One caution:
    The values in the pop-up menus, like those in all cells showing either Date or Time values contain both a Date part and a Time part. Where only the Time part has been entered, the Date part is the Date on which the entry was created. For the pop-ups on this table, that was July 15, 2008, so the full value in cell C7 (John's first "In" time) is July 15, 2008 08:00:00. That full value is what's used in the calculation in C9.
    If you edit the pop-up menu lists, there are two things to be aware of:
    The "blank" item in the menus enters an empty string into its cell, not a true blank. You, as a user, cannot create an 'empty string' item in a popup menu. The closest you can come is an entry with a single space. If you edit the "blank" item, you will also need to edit the formulas in the hours rows to detect a space ( " " ) rather than an empty string ( "" ).
    If you add or change any 'time' items in the pop-ups, the new (or changed) items will contain 'today's' date as part of the value. To avoid unexpected results from calculations, you'll need to edit ALL or the 'time' items if you choose to edit or add one.
    Take a look at the template, then bring back any questions that arise.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Text/File Reader that will resize/reformat Text for easy reading.

    I've used a couple of Text/File reader Apps; but with all of them,
    you have the choice of zooming out to see enough of a page to
    see an entire line of text, which is way too tiny to read, or zooming
    in so that it's easy to read, but then needing to scroll back and forth
    to read each line.
    Is there a reader that will display text large enough to read, and
    reflow/reformat the text so that it's all on the screen?
    Thanks, Jim.

    I found that Stanza does a great job reformatting most file types for reading on the iPodT. You do need the Mac OSX software for Stanza to transfer files to the iPodT so that you can read them with Stanza.
    I'm happy; but I wish the answer had been easier to find!

    Hello Heidi,
    I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
    For this reason, to manage, for example, several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
    Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
    And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
    http://filezilla-project.org/ and
    http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
    Mac: Mac OS X
    http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
    Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server.
    Good luck

  • Where to get a binary package that will give library libiconv.so.2

    Hello
    I have installed MediaWiki on Solaris Express build 105. When someone's try to login to MediaWiki through web browser there is a error about encoding. Function iconv() is installed but there is no library for this extension. Without this library my computer can not do convert a non utf encoding to utf encoding so mostly 'windows' hosts can not do proper login. Error message says "password is wrong. try again".
    Software that i used to install Mediawiki: apache2.2, mysql 5.0, php5.2
    Where to get a binary package that will provide a library libiconv.so.2 or something ??
    What to do to get it working ??
    Thanks for any response

    There is no need to install this library. I have made mistake. When i was doing copy-paste a password from OpenOffice then this password did not mutch with password that was type by hand into firefox. Only this was the problem.

  • Help with formula variable that will give me period #

    column A = $  for fiscal year period  variable  (using 0RMA_FIP,  SAP delivered variable for period)
    Column B = $ for fiscal year period  variable minus 1  (previous period)
    In Column C,  if fiscal year period entered in 0RMA_FIP was 001/YYYY  (january)  I want column C to be zero,  if not,  it will be a variance between column A & Column B.
    I think know how to do boolean logic:  (FV_Period == 1) *0 + (Column B % Column A)
    What i am having trouble with is creating FV_Period  as a replacement path formula varialbe so that it will contain the value of the period,   1 for January,  or 2 thru 12 for other months..

    While creating the Formula variable with replacement type, you need to mention the offset start and offset length.
    I believe if your Fiscal Period is displayed as 2010009 then
    offset start = 5 and offset length = 3 should give you the value 009 which is required.

  • I cannot derive a file name that will let me export my Keynote file as a PDF.  I understand the 31 character limit, but what other secret niceties must I observe?

    Hmmmm . . . . I used to be good at this, back in the day . . . OK:  I take a KN file and attempt to export as pdf for later upload to SlideShare servers, which can't take straight KN submissions anymore.  I keep my file names under 31 characters, as prompted.  But . . . I keep getting a NoNo that reads along these lines:
    "Cannot export "table of contents" as 'table of contents'".
    I've tried various fiddly things with file names but without success.  I feel like the mosquito looking for the tiny tear in the screen she just knows is there somewhere!  (I was three semesters into an entymology major before I got the word that my fascination with word derivations was doomed to be frustrated.)
    Am I Maverick bitten or just way too old to be messing around with stuff like this?

    Hi,
    According to your description, you might want to retrieve the string “2014_05” from the file name.
    I would suggest you create a SharePoint Designer workflow and implement your logic of handling the filename.
    In SharePoint Designer 2010, there are already some useful utility workflow actions which can enable users to deal with the various requirements come from the business scenarios.
    For the string handling, you can consider to use the
    Utility Actions:
