(String pFile),String

pFile

Filename of a local or shared/mapped file

Returns

UNC for a local or shared file

This method takes a filename that includes a drive letter, local or mapped, such as "F:\Clarion6\Bin\C60HELP.HLP" and returns the correctly formed UNC name for the file, i.e. "\\ComputerName\DriveShareName\Clarion6\Bin\C60HELP.HLP"

Note that this method will convert any filename to a UNC filename, also filenames on the local computer. This method has two other names, ConvertToUNC and GetUNCFileName. They both call GetLocalNetworkFileName

Example:

ITN ITNetworkClass

Fn String(1024)

UNC String(1024)

Code

If FileDialog('Choose File to View',Fn,'Text|*.TXT|Source|*.CLW',FILE:LongName)

UNC = ITN.GetLocalNetworkFileName(Fn)

Message('File Name: ' & Fn & '|UNC Name: ' & UNC)

End
