RE: Extracting File Names

Hi,

I was just wondering if there was any way to extract the file name of an excel file or data table using JSL.

Any help would be appreciated.

We're going to need more information. Extracting filenames from what? Where are the filenames stored?

If you mean, can you get a list of files in a directory then yes, the Files In Directory() function will give you a list of files.

Hi,

I just mean the file name of the current open data table / file.

In that case, use the <<Get Name and <<Get Path messages for a data table.

The Current Data Table() function may help you as well.
