Operating System: Windows 64bits

Hello Team,

I am using getn function to get a file name for using it further processing.

getn (Select CSV file) strMVPFile$:@BBFile;

This works fine and I can process the file data.

However, I can not get the full file name with path from strMVPFile$ string.

Can anyone help me on how to get the full file name with path in to a string? I want to use part of this file path for some label. Many thanks in advance.

Isn't strMVPFile$ returned as a full file name with path? If you want to extract path or file name separately, you may check this page:

Thanks James for the response, much appreciated.

When I print strMVPFiles$ using "type" I dont get the full file name but only the parent drive name. When I use "type -v" I get the full path. So question is how to get the full path in to a string which I can process further. strMVPFiles$ does have a a full path but I can not get it.

Can you show me the full path full path (copy from file explorer top bar) and the path you see with "type -v"?

Simplest way to print a string variable is to use "=", see code below


	string str1$="a\tb";
	type str1$;
	type -v str1$;
	string str2$=str1$;
	str2$=;


type -v is to prevent converting escape characters like \t.

Path from explorer:
Z:\01 Data\Link 1P\example.csv

Path from type -v:
Z:\01 Data\Link 1P\example.csv

strMVPFile$ still contains the full path name. type command treats "\0" in the string as an escaping character. As mentioned in prvious post, you can use strMVPFile$= to check the string value. You can still get its path and file name by:

string fname$ = strMVPFile.GetFileName()$;
fname$=;
string path$ = strMVPFile.GetFilePath()$;
path$=;
