Actual file path when using UI FileUpload

[former_member194931]

I want to read the actual file path so that I can archive the file.

The issue is when I am using UI Element Fileupload, it always shows C:\fakepath\filename.txt in filename property of UI.

Is there a way I can get the actual file path or what is alternative ?

I have tried this but still I don't get the actual file path.

I get "C:\fakepath\demo1.txt" in file name.

UI Fileupload takes correct path for uploading the file.But when you read the Node Attribute, it shows only File Name and not complete path.so workaround would be:

1 .you can save the file to upload in 'D' Drive in specific folder. And in the coding file name is concatenated with 'D:' to create complete file path.
2.  Uplaod the file in table and then read the complete path of the file

Hope this will help

Hi Khalid,

You can get the full file path. Please try the below mentioned code:

DATA : lv_file_upload TYPE REF TO cl_wd_file_upload,

             lv_filename TYPE string.

           lv_file_upload ?= wd_this->mr_view->get_element( 'FILEUPLOAD' ).

          * FILEUPLOAD is the ID of the fileupload Ui element.

           lv_filename     = lv_file_upload->get_file_name( ).
