I am working with customer using jBASE and I checked the MD item to determine where the file existed and there was no MD item for the file. How does jBASE determine where the file is?
jBASE uses the locations as defined in the JEDIFILEPATH environment variable to find your files:
https://docs.zumasys.com/jbase/environment-variables/jedifilepath/
But anything defined in the MD/VOC takes precedence.
It looks for the item (I suppose you mean a jBASE hashed file) either in VOC/MD (defined in JEDIFILENAME_MD environment variable) or HOME path or current working directory path.
Perhaps your MD or VOC (Vocabulary) is pointing somewhere else than where you expect it to be - check the JEDIFILENAME_MD variable.

I have been using the function FileUtils.chmod_R to recursively change files and directories permissions under a given path but now want to change only the file permissions and leave the directories as they are. Looking at the man page for this function I can't see how to do this and I would prefer not to do this with a bash script. Please can someone tell me if this is possible with the FileUtils.chmod_R function or would I have to write additional code to iterate over every file that exist under a given path (recursive) and then FileUtils.chmod it to the desire permission? I am a ruby newbie so please point me someplace if I am asking anything obvious
You could do something like below - this will change permissions of the list of files matched by Dir.glob.
FileUtils.chmod 0400, Dir.glob('/path/to/dir/**/*')
As mentioned in this thread,
Dir.glob("**/*/") # will return list of all directories
Dir.glob("**/*") # will return list of all files
Currently I am using following function to get the temporary folder path for current user:
string tempPath = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath();
On some machines it gives me temp folder path of current user like:
C:\Documents and Settings\administrator\Local Settings\Temp\
On some machines it gives me system temp folder path like:
C:\Windows\TEMP
MSDN Documentation also says that above API returns current system's temporary folder.
Is there any other API available which gives me current user's temporary folder path like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\administrator\Local Settings\Temp\
System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() is just a wrapper for a native call to GetTempPath(..) in Kernel32.
Have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364992(VS.85).aspx
Copied from that page:
The GetTempPath function checks for the existence of environment variables in the following order and uses the first path found:
The path specified by the TMP environment variable.
The path specified by the TEMP environment variable.
The path specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable.
The Windows directory.
It's not entirely clear to me whether "The Windows directory" means the temp directory under windows or the windows directory itself. Dumping temp files in the windows directory itself sounds like an undesirable case, but who knows.
So combining that page with your post I would guess that either one of the TMP, TEMP or USERPROFILE variables for your Administrator user points to the windows path, or else they're not set and it's taking a fallback to the windows temp path.
DO NOT use this:
System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP")
Environment variables can be overridden, so the TEMP variable is not necessarily the directory.
The correct way is to use System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() as in the accepted answer.
I have this same requirement - we want to put logs in a specific root directory that should exist within the environment.
public static readonly string DefaultLogFilePath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile);
If I want to combine this with a sub-directory, I should be able to use Path.Combine( ... ).
The GetFolderPath method has an overload for special folder options which allows you to control whether the specified path be created or simply verified.
I'm using JDBC to create a directory object in the database.
i.e create or replace directory "dir" as 'c:\temp';
My question is:
I want to pass the path at runtime
Or at least specify path relative to current one. I mean : create or replace "dir" as './../tempdir'
Is there a way to do this or is specifying absolute path the only way out.
From Oracle Doc:
path_name Specify the full path name of the operating system directory
of the server where the files are located.
I think this is because there is no such thing as "current directory". (You are in database, not in command line :) )

I am a Batch-newbie, so please accept my apologies and Thanks in advance !
This "tool" is to automate the slimming down of Windows (XP) by disabling certain system driver, DLL and EXE files. Instead of outright deletion, I wish to rename-in-place, thus "removing" them from the OS, but not losing sight of where they belong (should any need to be "restored"). Renaming is accomplished by appending a new suffix to the existing filename (eg: "wdmaud.drv.group_1") The renaming suffix should be another input variable.
The target-list is approx. 1100 files long (divided into various groups/phases), so manual renaming is out of the question. Each group will be processed in a separate run of the batch file, varying the target-list input file for each execution.
Target-list is plain text file, one filename per line (no other data in the files). Number of entries per group varies. Target list will look like this:
-- example start --
netapi.dll
netcfgx.dll
netdde.exe
netevent.dll
neth.dll
netid.dll
netrap.dll
nic1394.sys
-- example end --
Filenames may be in UPPER, lower, or MiXeD case. The files may be present in more than one folder in the C:\Windows hierarchy - or may not be present at all. If a file is not found anywhere in the system, it's name should be written to a text file, one-entry-per-line.
The specific folders of interest are:
C:\WINDOWS\
C:\WINDOWS\system\
C:\WINDOWS\system32\
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers
The renaming will be done by connecting the target OS drive to another XP computer, so locked system files should not be a problem.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
a double FOR loop may help you.. this is a very simple example, just to get you started
for /f "tokens=*" %%f in (%targetlist%) do (
for /f "tokens=*" %%d in (%dirlist%) do (
if exist "%%d\%%f" echo %%f found in %%d
)
)
