Using the “File and Folder” theme of commands, I need to get a FOLDER OBJECT for a FILE OBJECT. I would have thought it would be file.parent (similar to folder.parent). But there seems no easy way to get the folder object.
We have: $obj_File:= File( PathName ). The resulting $obj_File, however, has no attribute for the folder that owns it! A FOLDER object has $obj_Folder.parent But a FILE OBJECT should also have a .parent attribute, which should be its owning folder! Any way to convert a FILE OBJECT to a FOLDER OBJECT? I started a method for it, but that seems insane; surely 4D already has a simple way to get the FOLDER of a FILE ?? Thanks, Chris (if this is duplicated, it is because the first time I sent it, I forget to make it PLAIN TEXT and I think it would get bounced) ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
