file path in different fields

[Tusif Ahmad]

Hi.

If we import any file in container field, can we store on path in different fields like Field A should store drive, Field B should store DirectoryA, Field C should store DirectoryB etc.

Thanks in advance for your kind help....

If you import a file into a container as a reference, the container will store the file's path and you can parse the path into as many pieces as you want.

Edit: To see the path, create a calc field that equals your container field and set the result to text.

Also, you'll see there are two values, a simple path and the full path. Use the full path by using GetValue ( getastext (containerField), 2).
