Get(FilePath)Category: Get Syntax: Get ( FilePath ) Parameters: none Description: Returns the full path to the currently active database file, including the file extension. Returns file:/driveletter:/databaseName for local files in Windows. Returns file://volumename/myfoldername/databaseName for remote files in Windows. Returns file:/path/databaseName for local and remote files in the Mac OS. Returns fmnet:/networkaddress/databaseName for FileMaker Pro networked files. Examples: Get (FilePath) Returns the current file path. Left (Get (FilePath) ; Position ( Get (FilePath) ; Get (FileName) ; 1 ; 1) -1) Returns just the path to the current file directory. The Position() function truncates the path before the filename. Comments: Remember that Get (FilePath) includes the filename and extension. Text parsing functions can be used to extract just the file path from the results returned by Get (FilePath) . This can be useful for building dynamic paths to objects that are in the same directory as the current file. If a field in file A.fp7 contains the formula Get (FilePath) , and that field is displayed on a layout in another file, B.fp7 , via an external table occurrence, the field value will still return the file path for file A . |
