Icetips Utilities Documentation 11/30/2010     Network Class:  GetNetworkFileName

Previous  Top  Next

This method returns the UNC name for a remote file.  It does NOT return the UNC filename for a local file.  Use GetLocalNetworkFileName for that purpose.

Example:

MyProc   Proc

P    String(255)

ITN  ITNetworkClass

Code

P = 'Z:\somepath\somefile.txt'

P = ITN.GetNetworkFileName(P)

Message('P is now = ' & P)

If the Z: drive is mapped to "RemoteC" drive share on "RemotePC" computer, this would return "\\RemotePC\RemoteC\somepath\somefile.txt"  If the Z: drive is a local drive, the GetNetworkFileName would return "Z:\somepath\somefile.txt"
