Buckley Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2018 12:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [RBASE-L] - SHORTFILENAME vs. LONGFILENAME Manuel, Look at LoadFileName & LoadFileNamePlus plugins that are included with R:BASE and see if they give you what you need. Good luck, Paul Buckley 4.1.3 LoadFileName The LoadFileName plugin is used to load a file name into a variable by displaying a dialog window for the user to browse the operating system. The LoadFileNamePlus plugin replaced the LoadFileName Plugin with additional options to load a file name. It does not appear in the R:BASE for Windows Plugins Menu. The LoadFileName is included with the purchase of R:BASE. Syntax: PLUGINS LoadFileName VarName|<parameters> Where: VarName is the variable name to return the text value of the selected file Parameters: Parameter Value Description FULLPATH ON/OFF Determines if the full path for the selected file is returned with the file name TITLE value Specifies the title caption FILTER value Filters the display files (Example: Text Files (*.txt)#*.txt) INITIAL_DIR value Specifies the initial directory when launched NO_CHANGE_DIR ON/OFF Determines if the directory changes when the file is selected MULTISELECT ON/OFF Determines if multiple files can be selected SHOW_HIDDEN ON/OFF Determines if hidden files can be seen NO_LONG_NAMES ON/OFF Determines if files not using the 8.3 naming convention are displayed. This is only supported with the OLD_STYLE parameter. NO_NETWORK_BUTTONON/OFF Determines if the network button is displayed. This is only supported with the OLD_STYLE parameter. HIDE_READ_ONLY ON/OFF Determines if the "Open as Read Only" check box is displayed NO_DEREFERENCE_LIN KS ON/OFF Determines if shortcut links are valid or are de-referenced DONT_ADD_TO_RECEN T ON/OFF Determines if file selection is added to recently opened documents ENABLE_SIZING ON/OFF Determines if the dialog window can be resized OLD_STYLE ON/OFF Determines if the "old style" window is displayed NO_VALIDATE ON/OFF Determines if validation for invalid characters is used Notes: Each option must be separated by pipe "|" character. A value of '[Esc]' will be returned if the [Cancel] button or Close Window [x] button of the folder selection dialog is selected. Example: PLUGIN LoadFileName vFileName+ |INITIAL_DIR C:\RBTI\ + |TITLE 'Select file to load' + |FULLPATH ON+ |NO_CHANGE_DIR ON+ |FILTER JPG Files (*.jpg)#*.jpg+ |HIDE_READ_ONLY ON+ |MULTISELECT ON+ |SHOW_HIDDEN OFF+ |ENABLE_SIZING ON 4.1.4 LoadFileNamePlus The LoadFileNamePlus plugin is used to load a file name into a variable by displaying a dialog window for the user to browse the operating system.

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.
