I need to get the extension part of a file path for example,
c:me.jpg
i need to return the ".jpg" to a string. Im sure this is easy enough, im guessing i need to get all the text after the last .
When I open appl.exe in C: , app1.exe call in app2.exe and then app2.exe will run and app2.exe will give the file location of app1.exe with extension such as C:app1.exe in run time. Here I wanna know how to reveal the location of calling application (app1.exe) with extension from app2.exe. I mean that app2.exe is called by app1.exe and when app2.exe is running, I wanna reveal the location of app1.exe with extension from app2.exe.

View 1 RepliesHow would I take the location of a file that a user has opened and save it to a string? Say the user opened the file picture.jpg @ C:picture.jpg. How could I save that file path or assign it to a string?
View 5 RepliesI am a newbie programmer. I have some code that needs to open a file based on what is contained in a variable. Example: If File.Exists(w) Then Dim q() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(w)
The problem is that I need the variable "w" , after readallLines , to have a .txt extension. I tried this:
IO.File.ReadAllLines(w & ".txt") but that doesnt work.
I'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?
I have File Like "Sample.bak" and when I compress it to be "Sample.zip" I lose the file extension inside the zip file I meann when I open the compressed file I find "Sample" without any extension.
I use this code :
Dim name As String = Path.GetFileName(filePath).Replace(".Bak", "")
Dim source() As Byte = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath)
Dim compressed() As Byte = ConvertToByteArray(source)
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(destination & name & ".Bak" & ".zip", compressed)
Or using this code :
Public Sub cmdCompressFile(ByVal FileName As String)
'Stream object that reads file contents
Dim streamObj As Stream = New StreamReader(FileName).BaseStream

I need to compress the file without loosing file extension inside compressed file.

I am having problems downloading files possibly due to the file extensions not matching the actual file. What is happening is the File.Exists check is returning false for these even though the named file does exist. Is anybody aware of anything in IIS or even IE which would cause this? I have seen this with .txt, .exe. and .avi files. The .avi works of as long as the file really is an avi and not renamed from something else.

View 13 RepliesHow would i go about checking a file extention to see if it is either
'.exe' or '.ex_'
What i need to be able to do is that if the extention of the file is '.ex_' then that file is copied to another folder, or if the file extention is '.exe' then it is passed onto another routine that will compress is.
Baring in mind that there could be a number of files in that folder.
I already have a routine that will compress the files, just need the above.
I am looking for an advise on how to find out the extension of the file only knowing the name and the location of it. I tried getextension method and some other but they don't seem to do anything to me.

What I am trying to figure out is a way to copy a file and paste it in another location. So that there will be the original file in the user set location, and then a duplicate of that file in, say, the "Program Files" folder. I would also need some way to check if the file exists to, so that it doesn't keep creating a new file each time the program starts up.
to sum it up: I need to be able to copy a file to a predetermined location and check if the file exists, and if it doesn't, it will copy the file over to the location.
