Get file type

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any FM/Method that returens the file type (TXT, XLS, DAT ...) for a specific file ?

[Former Member]

try FILE_GET_NAME

or RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL

[Former Member]

No,

There is function module which returns the file path,

Cheers,

I don't think so...But you can do this...

DATA: FILE TYPE STRING,
      EXT(3) TYPE C,
      LONG TYPE I.

FILE = 'C:\DOCS\HELLO_WORLD.DOC'.

LONG = STRLEN( FILE ).
LONG = LONG - 3.
EXT = FILE+LONG(3).

WRITE:/ EXT.

You can make a custom FM...

Hi,

check FM  /SAPSLL/CORE_KPRO_FILE_EXT_GET


REPORT ztest_cha1.

DATA : v_ext TYPE string.

CALL FUNCTION '/SAPSLL/CORE_KPRO_FILE_EXT_GET'
  EXPORTING
    iv_file_string    = 'TEMP1.TXT'
  IMPORTING
    ev_file_extension = v_ext.

SHIFT v_ext LEFT.

WRITE : v_ext.

also try this'

REPORT ztest_cha1.

DATA: lext(3) TYPE c,
      lfile LIKE pcfile-path.

MOVE 'TEMp1.XLS' TO lfile.

CALL FUNCTION 'PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME'
  EXPORTING
    complete_filename = lfile
  IMPORTING
    extension         = lext.

WRITE : lext.

Thanks for all your answers.

Somtimes the file name doesn't contain the the file type (abc.txt or just abc). so the last 4 characters won't contain the file type.

Hi Naddy,

I have forced the user to enter a file name with the wanted extension.

I haven't found a way to get the file type without an extension
