Automatically display report file name

linucksrox

Hi,

I was looking for a way to have a dynamic text field on a report or template that automatically shows the literal filename for the report design file for debugging purposes. Is there a way to do this, or would I need the report designers to manually type this in when creating a new report?

You can put this in your dynamic text box to output the file name 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
reportContext.getDesignHandle().fileName
</pre>

Perfect, that's exactly what I needed. Is there any good way to refine that, for example to show only report_filename.rptdesign without the absolute path? Where can I find the API with all of the functions and members?

From this DevShare entry (<a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/devshare/designing-birt-reports/1330-get-folder-and-report-name/'>link</a>), to get the BIRT Design filename only use Javascript to parse out the folder path: 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>var myReport = reportContext.getReportRunnable().getReportName();
myReport.substr(myReport.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);</pre>

One more question: how do I display a space instead of the %20 that shows up?

I'm not sure in what context you are seeing the escaped spaces (%20)s. However, you can easily use the replace method in Javascript to globally replace the %20s with actual spaces. 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>var myReport = reportContext.getReportRunnable().getReportName();
myReport.substr(myReport.lastIndexOf('/') + 1).replace(/%20/gi, " ");</pre>
