a File Name from the URI</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>This tutorial describes the steps to generate a file name from URI. </p>

<section><title>Introduction</title> <p> <xref href="GUID-A81CD022-5AD4-3BD8-B006-B3891C4F4F74.dita"><apiname>TUriC8</apiname></xref> provides

functionality to generate a fully qualified file name from a file URI object.

This function supports only URIs with file scheme. </p> <p><b> URI path component </b> </p> <p>The <codeph>path</codeph> component

encodes the file's location on the file system. The generic path component

is of the form: </p> <p>"/" [<i>keyword</i> "/" ] [<i>drive</i> *("/"<i>keyword</i>)["/"<i>filename</i> ]] </p> <p>where, </p> <ul>

<li id="GUID-44ABA994-B265-50EB-9529-D8D319C27CDD"><p> <i>keyword</i> indicates

path limitations. The only valid value of this is <i>private</i>, which indicates

that the path is to be resolved relative to the application’s private directory. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-FCFB99C0-8331-5D20-989E-384DC5B9B395"><p> <i>drive</i> is either

the drive letter (upper or lowercase), or the term “ext-media”, indicating

that the file is on a removable drive. </p> </li>

</ul> <p>Examples of file names resolved from variants of URIs using <xref href="GUID-A81CD022-5AD4-3BD8-B006-B3891C4F4F74.dita#GUID-A81CD022-5AD4-3BD8-B006-B3891C4F4F74/GUID-AD8DC94E-743B-3347-9AC4-B37AE23AA786"><apiname>TUriC8::GetFileNameL()</apiname></xref> are

be used only for file URIs and will leave if used on any other scheme. </p> <p>Other

two options available are as follows: </p> <ol id="GUID-CEA2464C-5273-50D3-B1FA-2918A5660368">

<li id="GUID-83ECAC38-CF24-5980-8C62-8B52DBF6FF89"><p> <codeph>EUriFileNamePath</codeph> generates

the filename containing only the path component. </p> <p>For example, <codeph>http://www.foo.com/MyDir/MyFiles/MyFile.doc;param1;param2</codeph> retrieves <filepath>MyDir\MyFiles\MyFile.doc</filepath>. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-722BEC57-07AF-5B32-8C30-FE0B0C738CB1"><p> <codeph>EUriFileNameTail</codeph> generates

the file name containing just the file name. </p> <p>For example, <codeph>http://www.foo.com/MyDir/MyFiles/MyFile.doc;param1;param2</codeph> retrieves <filepath>MyFile.doc</filepath>. </p> </li>
