No "shortfilename" has nothing to do with what you're trying. Shortfilename is only used when you're using the "DIR" command, it controls what's shown back to you in the file listing.
Karen -----Original Message----- From: MD <[email protected]> To: rbase-l <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Jan 17, 2018 2:48 am Subject: [RBASE-L] - SHORTFILENAME vs. LONGFILENAME I have a filelistbox and when I select an image on a folder using the PROPERTY LONGFILENAME I obtain the file name and its full path. I wanted to get just the file name so I assumed that using the SHORTFILENAME would yield the name of the file only. Component ID: flbFileNam My code is: GETPROPERTY flbFileNam LONGFILENAME 'fvFileImgNam' . GETPROPERTY flbFileNam SHORTFILENAME 'fvFileImgNamShrt' The result is: It appears that both property command yield the same results. So my understanding of the SHORT & LONGFILENAME is weak or I am doing something wrong or something else? I need some help. I was just trying to get the file name without the path (CM9197.jpg). Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Manuel RBase XE latest upgrade. By the way I tried this in the RRBYW19 database on an existing form and it behaved in the same way. -- For group guidelines, visit http://www.rbase.com/support/usersgroup_guidelines.php --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBASE-L" group.
