Leb i Sol Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hello people! I was just wondering if this approach is even possible. All of the image paths in field are constant: -----------fields--------------- ItemID: xxxxx ImageName:xxxxx.jpg Image_Path: M/xxxxx.jpg"]file://X:/images/M/xxxxx.jpg -------------------------------- how to set field to the same string but altered? c_Large_Image_Path: L/xxxxx.jpg"]file://X:/images/L/xxxxx.jpg My inital though was to : c_root= TrimRight((Image_Path - ImageName),3) to produce a "root" value: file://X:/images/ and then c_final= (c_root & "M/" & ImageName) but the problem is "subtracting text strings" Anyone has ideas? Much Obliged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishma Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 SetField["c_Large_Image_Path", "Substitute ( Image_Path:, "file://X:/images/M/", "file://X:/images/L/")"] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leb i Sol Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hi Fishma! Thanx for the post...I am sorry, the sample above just that....the actual path varies and is not constant. the "true" path is: file://X:/images/LocationName/M/ where I have a few locations and are diff. But, I managed to get it to work. The idea here was to "open/View" larger image: - without ever storing it in DB - having it in the same root folder but only the "last folder" would differ. - images are named the same Here is how it worked out: attached image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
