VB6: easy way to get folder name from filepath - vb6

If I have the full path of a file:
eg. c:\files\file.txt
What would be the easiest way to get the folder of this file: eg. c:\files\ ?

Use FileSystemObject.GetParentFolderName(strFullFilePath) e.g.
Dim strFullFilePath As String
strFullFilePath = "c:\files\file.txt"
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
MsgBox fso.GetParentFolderName(strFullFilePath)
Note this returns c:\file rather than c:\file\

You can use InStrRev for searching for the \, and Left$ for extracting the path bit:
filename = "c:\files\file.txt"
posn = InStrRev(filename, "\")
If posn > 0 Then
pathstr = Left$(filename, posn)
Else
pathstr = ""
End If
I'd make a function out of it for ease of use:
Function pathOfFile(fileName As String) As String
Dim posn As Integer
posn = InStrRev(fileName, "\")
If posn > 0 Then
pathOfFile = Left$(filename, posn)
Else
pathOfFile = ""
End If
End Function

' GetFilenameWithoutExtension: Return filename without extension from complete path
Public Function GetFilenameWithoutExtension(path As String) As String
Dim pos As Integer
Dim filename As String
pos = InStrRev(path, "\")
If pos > 0 Then
filename = Mid$(path, pos + 1, Len(path))
GetFilenameWithoutExtension = Left(filename, Len(filename) - Len(Mid$(filename, InStrRev(filename, "."), Len(filename))))
Else
GetFilenameWithoutExtension = ""
End If
End Function
' GetFilenameWithExtension: Return filename with extension from complete path
Public Function GetFilenameWithExtension(path As String) As String
Dim pos As Integer
pos = InStrRev(path, "\")
If pos > 0 Then
GetFilenameWithExtension = Mid$(path, pos + 1, Len(path))
Else
GetFilenameWithExtension = ""
End If
End Function
' GetDirectoryFromPathFilename: Return directory path contain filename
Public Function GetDirectoryFromPathFilename(path As String) As String
Dim pos As Integer
pos = InStrRev(path, "\")
If pos > 0 Then
GetDirectoryFromPathFilename = Left$(path, pos)
Else
GetDirectoryFromPathFilename = ""
End If
End Function

Passing function's data to another function

How can I pass the data generated by the EliminaAcentos function to the
URLEncode function in this script?
The first function removes diacritics and the second function URL-encodes the data.
Function EliminaAcentos(texto)
Dim i, s1, s2
s1 = "ÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïòóôõöùúûü"
s2 = "AAAAAACEEEEIIIIOOOOOUUUUaaaaaaceeeeiiiiooooouuuu"
If Len(texto) <> 0 Then
For i = 1 To Len(s1)
texto = Replace(texto, Mid(s1,i,1), Mid(s2,i,1))
Next
End If
EliminaAcentos = texto
End Function
Function URLEncode(ByVal str)
Dim strTemp, strChar
Dim intPos, intASCII
strTemp = ""
strChar = ""
For intPos = 1 To Len(str)
intASCII = Asc(Mid(str, intPos, 1))
If intASCII = 32 Then
strTemp = strTemp & "+"
ElseIf ((intASCII < 123) And (intASCII > 96)) Then
strTemp = strTemp & Chr(intASCII)
ElseIf ((intASCII < 91) And (intASCII > 64)) Then
strTemp = strTemp & Chr(intASCII)
ElseIf ((intASCII < 58) And (intASCII > 47)) Then
strTemp = strTemp & Chr(intASCII)
Else
strChar = Trim(Hex(intASCII))
If intASCII < 16 Then
strTemp = strTemp & "%0" & strChar
Else
strTemp = strTemp & "%" & strChar
End If
End If
Next
URLEncode = strTemp
End Function
WScript.Echo URLEncode(WScript.Arguments(0))
Basically there are two ways to go about it:
You can nest the call of EliminaAcentos in the call of URLEncode as #JosefZ suggested:
URLEncode(EliminaAcentos(WScript.Arguments(0)))
You can embed the call of EleminaAcentos in the body of the URLEncode function:
Function URLEncode(ByVal str)
Dim strTemp, strChar
Dim intPos, intASCII
strTemp = ""
strChar = ""
str = EliminaAcentos(str)
For intPos = 1 To Len(str)
...
Next
URLEncode = strTemp
End Function
Usually you'd pick the first option if there are situations where you call URLEncode and don't want diacritics removed, or if you don't control the implementation of URLEncode. If you always want URLEncode to remove diacritics and you control the function implementation you'd pick the second option.
Side note (also mentioned by #JosefZ): pass the parameter to EliminaAcentos by value, so the function call doesn't inadvertently modify the original value.
Function EliminaAcentos(ByVal texto)
...
End Function

how to rename image file name while uploading on web folder

i m using asp classic. i want to rename image file while i upload image on web folder created by me. please help me out of this issue.

Please help me out of this issue.
If you want to rename it to follow a known pattern as in your example ("filename(number).ext"), you must to use a pseudo-code like this:
let counter = 1
let original = file(0).Filename
let current = file(0).Filename
while(current file exists)
current = original-without-extension + (counter) + original-extension
counter = counter + 1
end
However, I think that would be better to store the user provided filename into your database and choose a random-like filename to store the actual file into the filesystem.
let current = userLogin + (currentTime as yyyyMMddHHmmss) + ".uploaded"
By using a bogus file extension you make your application way more secure, as your file will not be interpretable/executable -- imagine a malicious user uploading an .ASP file and executing it.
If this break the image MIME type, you should consider creating another .ASP page read the database to discover the appropriate MIME type based on the user provided file extension, write that content-type and the binary file content.
TL;DR: don't use the user provided file name, create a new one. This will avoid server hacking.

SHGetPathFromIDList does not return pathnames with leading periods

I have some Excel x64 VBA code that gets MP3 files, along with track#, size, length, etc., and puts them in some worksheets. The basic code came from John Walkenbach's page and can be found here: http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/file/mp3_file_lister/. I have modified it to run in 64-bit Excel by adding the PtrSafe keyword in the function declarations and changing some data types from Long to either LongLong or LongPtr (and maybe a few others). The code works wonderfully with one not too minor exception, it will not return any files in folders that contain leading periods. For example, I have an album by .38 Special ripped using WMP. The folder is: D:\Users\username\Music\Music.38 Special\Rock & Roll Strategy... This path does not appear in the list generated. I also have: D:\Users\username\Music\Music\Norah Jones...Featuring Nora Jones... and this folder is missing, too (the trailing ellipses represent the list of songs) . I have contacted John Walkenbach via email, and he has no idea why this is happening either.
Here is the code as I've modified it:

If anyone has any idea how to modify this so that pathnames containing a leading period as any part of the path can be returned, I'd be very glad to see it. I'd just rename those particular paths by removing the leading periods, but I'm afraid WMP will just one day put everything back the way it was (has happened before). Also, if you pick the actual folder in the BrowseForFolder API, that folder with the leading periods actually makes it into the sheet, but of course, only that folder.
Thanks
Look at this line in your code sample:
If Left$(FileName, 1) "." Then 'Current dir
Since the current directory is defined as a single '.' character, and this code only checks the initial character, it drops out before recursively examining it. Change the condition to check the length of the string as well as the initial character, e.g.
If (Left$(FileName, 1) = "." And FileName.Length = 1) Then 'Current dir
N.B. This code has not been tested; I hope it works for your use.
I was able to fix this by separating the test for root and subdirectory into separate IF statements, i.e.:
If filename <> "." Then
If filename <> ".." Then
*Code here*
End If
End If
Might be clunky, but it works.
The original If statement was:
If filename <> "." or filename <> ".." Then
This never worked. But then it occurred to me that maybe I needed to use a NAND statement. NAND = Not And. So I tried this:
if Not filename = "." And Not Filename = ".." then
This actually worked and seems to execute more rapidly than the earlier solution.

Try this out :
Range("A1:D4").CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlBitmap
Range("A6").PasteSpecial
It will paste a copy of the "snapshot" of Range("A1:D4") at the cell A6.
EDIT : Since you have already set an object of that "target" workbook, you can use it to easily paste into it. Try this :
ConcernMemosMaster.Worksheets("sheet1").Range("A1:X1").CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlBitmap
ConcernMemosMaster.Worksheets("sheet1").Range("B1").PasteSpecial

VB6 - Is it possible to create a full path directory?

I want to to create a full path directory, like "C:\temp1\temp2\temp2" without having to make multiple "MakeDir", for each directory.
Is this possible?
Is there any reference that I can add to my project that has this kind of function?
Thanks
You can use these functions to make the task a little easier:
Const PATH_SEPARATOR As String = "\"
'"' Creates a directory and its parent directories '''
Public Sub MakeDirectoryStructure(strDir As String)
Dim sTemp As String
If Right$(strDir, 1) = PATH_SEPARATOR Then
sTemp = Left$(strDir, Len(strDir) - 1)
Else
sTemp = strDir
End If
If Dir(strDir, vbDirectory) <> "" Then
' Already exists.'
Else
'We have to create it'
On Error Resume Next
MkDir strDir
If Err > 0 Then
' Create parent subdirectory first.'
Err.Clear
'New path'
sTemp = ExtractPath(strDir)
'Recurse'
MakeDirectoryStructure sTemp
End If
MkDir strDir
End If
End Sub
Public Function ExtractPath(strPath As String) As String
ExtractPath = MiscExtractPathName(strPath, True)
End Function
Private Function MiscExtractPathName(strPath As String, ByVal bFlag) As String
'The string is treated as if it contains '
'a path and file name. '
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''­''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' If bFlag = TRUE: '
' Function extracts the path from '
' the input string and returns it. '
' If bFlag = FALSE: '
' Function extracts the File name from '
' the input string and returns it. '
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Dim lPos As Long
Dim lOldPos As Long
'Shorten the path one level'
lPos = 1
lOldPos = 1
Do
lPos = InStr(lPos, strPath, PATH_SEPARATOR)
If lPos > 0 Then
lOldPos = lPos
lPos = lPos + 1
Else
If lOldPos = 1 And Not bFlag Then
lOldPos = 0
End If
Exit Do
End If
Loop
If bFlag Then
MiscExtractPathName = Left$(strPath, lOldPos - 1)
Else
MiscExtractPathName = Mid$(strPath, lOldPos + 1)
End If
End Function ' MiscExtractPathName'
I'm not sure where I got this code.
Asked and answered before:
equivalent-of-directory-createdirectory-in-vb6
Private Declare Function MakeSureDirectoryPathExists Lib
"imagehlp.dll" (ByVal lpPath As String) As Long
Dim mF As String
mF = FolderPath
If Right(mF, 1) <> "\" Then
mF = mF & "\"
MakeSureDirectoryPathExists mF
End If
'//Create nested folders in one call
Public Function MkDirs(ByVal PathIn As String) _
As Boolean
Dim nPos As Long
MkDirs = True 'assume success
If Right$(PathIn, 1) <> "\" Then PathIn = PathIn + "\" nPos = InStr(1, PathIn, "\")
Do While nPos > 0
If Dir$(Left$(PathIn, nPos), vbDirectory) = "" Then
On Error GoTo Failed
MkDir Left$(PathIn, nPos)
On Error GoTo 0
End If
nPos = InStr(nPos + 1, PathIn, "\")
Loop
Exit Function
Failed:
MkDirs = False
End Function
