    Example

    A range of functions are provided for working with Uri's and Path's. The following example demonstrates how these can be used.

     

    In the following example we have a directory c:\UriExamples\ that contains the files Bookstore.xsd, Input001.xml, Input002.xml & ResolvedUri.Output.xml.

    In our transform we have configured "ListFiles" to operate on the directory "c:\UriExamples\" and use the pattern "Input*.xml"

    As you can see the ListFiles component gets the full paths of all the files that match the pattern. These filenames are then fed into the various Uri functions and output into an XML writer.

    The result of the transform is as follows

    Transform Output
    Copy Code
    <FileProperties>
      <File>
        <FullFilename>C:\UriExamples\Input001.xml</FullFilename>
        <Filename>Input001.xml</Filename>
        <Extension>.xml</Extension>
        <Path>C:\UriExamples</Path>
        <AltFullFilename>C:\UriExamples\Backup\Input001.xml</AltFullFilename>
        <BackupFilename>C:\UriExamples\Input001.xml.bak</BackupFilename>
      </File>
      <File>
        <FullFilename>C:\UriExamples\Input002.xml</FullFilename>
        <Filename>Input002.xml</Filename>
        <Extension>.xml</Extension>
        <Path>C:\UriExamples</Path>
        <AltFullFilename>C:\UriExamples\Backup\Input002.xml</AltFullFilename>
        <BackupFilename>C:\UriExamples\Input002.xml.bak</BackupFilename>
      </File>
    </FileProperties>
