I'm writing a CF Application which I want a user to be able to use a
file browser dialog box to specify an image file to be uploaded to my CF
server. I also want to save the name of the file into a database.
I'm using <input type="FILE" name="image_file_name"> to bring up a file
browser dialog box for the user to select the image file for upload.
This returns the fully qualified file name which I can use as the source
file for the CFFILE tag.
The image_file_name is returned containing something like
C:\windows\dir2\myfile.jpg or /usr/local/graphics/myfile.jpg
I need to know what is the best CF function to use to strip off the
filename (eg, myfile.jpg) from the fully qualified directory and
filename?
Also any thoughts on how to handle Unix style filenames where the
directory / is a forward slash rather than the backwards DOS \?
I would like my web application to be able to be used by people with
browsers on both Unix and Windows based systems.
Best Regards. Paul
