Store the quotes into a variable and add them to the variable Set var vquote = (Char(39)) Set var vfile = (.vquote + <filename> + .vquote)
btw CHAR(39) = single quote Tony -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Docherty Sent: woensdag 30 januari 2013 22:17 To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - GetFileExt Plugin Arguments I would appreciate some help with the arguments for a Plugin. I am trying to use the GetFileExt plugin, (PLUGIN GetFileExt vFileExt|vfile) but find that the only way that I can get this to work is to enclose the filename in quotes. If I set a variable to the filename and use that I get a null returned. I tried all possible combinations I could think of as below. (I note that the SET VAR vFileExt = .. is not in my code, but is presumably from the Plugin.) set var vfile text ='Test.XLS' PLUGIN GetFileExt vFileExt|.vfile SET VAR vFileExt = '.vfile' show var vFileExt .vfile clear var vfileExt PLUGIN GetFileExt vFileExt|vfile SET VAR vFileExt = '' show var vFileExt -0- clear var vfileExt PLUGIN GetFileExt vFileExt|&vfile SET VAR vFileExt = '' show var vFileExt -0- clear var vfileExt PLUGIN GetFileExt vFileExt|'Test.XLS' SET VAR vFileExt = '.XLS' show var vFileExt .XLS Presumably I am doing something wrong here. If anyone can tell me what I need to do to make this work that would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Regards, John Docherty
