File open And Copy to destination

[ianhull]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to open a file and copy it to a specific folder.

Here is what I have

image1 = Dialog.FileBrowse(true, "Locate File", _DesktopFolder, "Image Files (*.jpg*)|*.jpg*|", "", "jpg", false, false);
File.Copy(("image1"), "C:\\mydir\\", true, true, false, true, nil);

Any ideas on th correct syntax.

Thanks

image1 = Dialog.FileBrowse(true, "Locate File", _DesktopFolder, "Image Files (*.jpg*)|*.jpg*|", "", "jpg", false, false);
if image1[1] ~= "CANCEL" then
	tblFileInfo = String.SplitPath(image1[1])
	File.Copy(image1[1], "C:\\mydir\\"..tblFileInfo.Filename..tblFileInfo.Extension, true, true, false, true, nil);
end

Thanks for that Worm but the image does not seem to be copied.
I see you have created a string tblFileInfo what does this mean?
Do I need a table on my page?

thanks

It works here. The only thing is that the folder you are copying the file too, must already exist.

Thanks Worm,

I did not realise it had to exist lol.

It works great now.

Thank you.

Worm do you know how I could store the image name in a string so that I can write it to a text file?

Thanks.

Thanks.

If you just want the name you can use the String.Split to split the path into parts and then use the Filename or Filename and extension as your string.

image1 = Dialog.FileBrowse(true, "Locate File", _DesktopFolder, "Image Files (*.jpg*)|*.jpg*|", "", "jpg", false, false);
if image1[1] ~= "CANCEL" then
	tblFileInfo = String.SplitPath(image1[1])
	strFilename = tblFileInfo.Filename
	--or if you want the extension as well
	--strFilename = tblFileInfo.Filename.. tblFileInfo.Extension
	File.Copy(image1[1], "C:\\mydir\\"..tblFileInfo.Filename..tblFileInfo.Extension, true, true, false, true, nil);
end

Thanks TJ Tigger.

Very much appreciated.

I will have to start remembering all this instead of asking you guys all the time.

Thanks again.
