Hey Stefan,
This looks like a pretty slick and easy solution. Thanks!

There's a javascrip solution that I use all the time:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE= "JavaScript" >
<!-- Begin
function ParseFilename()
{
SplitThisStr = document.FORM_NAME.Filename.value;
// create array from delimited string
SplitArray = SplitThisStr.split("\\");
// how many items in array
LastIteminArray = SplitArray.length;
// get the file name
JustFilename = SplitArray[LastIteminArray-1];
// set the hidden input value
document.FORM_NAME.JustTheFilename.value = JustFilename;
}
// End -->
</script>
<FORM name= "FORM_NAME" ENCTYPE= "multipart/form-data" METHOD=POST
ACTION=" <@APPFILE> ?_function=upload" >
<table border= "0" cellspacing= "0" cellpadding= "2" bgcolor=
"#000000" >
<tr>
<td bgcolor=" @@ domain$mdt_Dark_Cell_Color" >
<table border=0 cellpadding= "2" width= "100%" bgcolor=
"#FFFFFF" >
<tr align= "center" valign= "middle" >
<td bgcolor=" @@ domain$mdt_Dark_Cell_Color" height= "35">
<b><font color= "#FFFFFF" >Upload File </
font></b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr align=CENTER valign=MIDDLE bgcolor=gainsboro >
<td bgcolor=" @@ domain$mdt_Medium_Cell_Color" valign= "top">
<table border=0 cellpadding= "3" bgcolor=
"#FFFFFF" >
<TR ALIGN= "LEFT" VALIGN= "middle" >
<TD bgcolor=" @@ domain
$mdt_Light_Cell_Color" align= "right" >
<b> File to Upload: </B>
</TD>
<TD>
<input type= "File" name=
"Filename" value= "" size= "40" maxlength= "50" onChange=
"ParseFilename()" >
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<p>
<input type= "hidden" name= "JustTheFilename" value= "">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Upload File" style= "font-family:
Verdana; font-size: 12">
<INPUT TYPE=RESET VALUE="Clear Form" style= "font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 12">
</FORM>
The filename will be found in <@ARG JustTheFilename>. Pretty cool.

Hey William,
Well, unfortunately this looks like another job for Cold Fusion.
The CF server automatically parses the filename and leaves the name
and extension in-tact without having to do anything to the code.
I would have preferred to use WiTango, but that’s too much code
for an application that has a lot of file upload, and if there’s an
error in the communication then the video wouldn’t get uploaded.
Kind regards,
Rick

Not exactly.
The complete path on the uploader's system is provided (kind of a
security leak I think). path1 splits this into the directory
hierarchy, with the filename as the last column. The filename then
gets split into a name and extension.

Hey William,
Thanks! I take it that path1 would be the path to the file. Path2
would be the file name, and path3 would be the extension?
I thought it would be a little easier than this since I have many
file uploads.
Kind regards,
Rick

Your file upload button will look like this:
<input class="button" type="submit" name="Submit" value="Add File"
onclick="this.form.path.value=this.form.File.value;" />
Then you can parse <@POSTARG NAME="Submit">. I pass the file and
file path to a method for this:
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="method" name="size" VALUE="<@LENGTH STR='@@method
$file'>">
<@IFEMPTY VALUE="@@method$filename">
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="method" NAME="path1" value="<@TOKENIZE
VALUE='@@method$path' CHARS='\:/'>">
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="method" NAME="path2" value="@@method
$path1[1,<@numcols array='@@method$path1'>]">
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="method" NAME="path3" value="<@TOKENIZE
VALUE='@@method$path2' CHARS='.'>">
<@ELSE>
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="method" NAME="path3" value="<@TOKENIZE
VALUE='@@method$filename' CHARS='.'>">
</@IF>
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="method" NAME="fileextn" value=".@@method$path3[1,2]">
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="method" NAME="filename" value="@@method$path3
[1,1].@@method$path3[1,2]">

Hey List,
Haven’t done this before in WiTango. When someone is uploading a
file through a form, how can you grab the file name and extension?
I can figure out how to check the file size, but I need to grab the
file name and extension. Anyone else ever do this?
Thanks in advance!
