DCR Name Deployment

Is there any way to fetch the DCR name directly into DD? The tuple variable i am aware of is 'path'. Is there any documentation on these?

This filename is an attribute of the file and can be retrieved with the iwattrib CLT. But I havent found a way to get that into DD. The only way to get something like this into the DD was to use EDS and then write a java program, compile, build, ...

We could also use FormAPI, use getDCRName and store as hidden field. But that will not change if someone checks the file name and clicks on 'File->rename'.

Any suggestions on how to deploy the DCR name??

This should not be that complicated. You can get it from the vpath, just regex out the filename earlier. Something like:

[html]

match="^Y Smiley Sad

.*)/WORKAREA/[^/]+/(.*)"
replace="/$2" />

I use the parent EA (which points to the generated file) to get the URL and push it to the DB.

[/html]

Well this worked just as you suggested. Now I wish to append a command line parameter to this...

[html] instead of replace="/$2" /, i wish to use some thing like replace='$myString/$2', [/html] where mystring is the CL parameter.

I have tried escaping the $ symbol and a few other tricks, but to no avail. Smiley Sad

I am a little weak with regex... Any more bright ideas??
