[RBASE-L] - Re: GetFileExt Plugin Arguments

[John Docherty]

Thanks for that Razzak.  I appreciate your help with this.

SET VAR vCommand = ('PLUGIN GetFileExt vFileExt|'+.vFile)
&vcommand
SET VAR vFileExt = '.XLS'
show var vFileExt
.XLS

I will try to remember that next time. 

Thank you. 

Regards,

John,

Try the following two ver simple examples and see what you get.

-- Example 01 (Using GetFileExt Plugin in R:BASE eXtreme 9.5)
-- Using File Name and Extension as Given Parameter
    SET VAR vFileExt TEXT = NULL
    PLUGIN GetFileExt vFileExt|MyRBASE.txt
    PAUSE 2 USING .vFileExt +
    CAPTION 'Using GetFileExt PLugin' ICON INFO +
    OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_NAME Tahoma +
    |MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR GREEN +
    |MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 11 +
    |THEMENAME Longhorn
    RETURN

-- Example 02 (Using GetFileExt Plugin in R:BASE eXtreme 9.5)
-- Using File Name and Extension as Concatenated String
    SET VAR vFileExt TEXT = NULL
    SET VAR vFileName TEXT = 'MyRBASE.txt'
    SET VAR vCommand TEXT = NULL
    SET VAR vCommand = ('PLUGIN GetFileExt vFileExt|'+.vFileName)
    &vCommand
    PAUSE 2 USING .vFileExt +
    CAPTION 'Using GetFileExt PLugin' ICON INFO +
    OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_NAME Tahoma +
    |MESSAGE_FONT_COLOR GREEN +
    |MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 11 +
    |THEMENAME Longhorn
    RETURN

Both examples should provide with the correct technique and syntax to use
GetFileExt Plugin in R:BASE eXtreme 9.5.

Have fun!

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
