Split filename to file and extension

[Private_Member_19084]

Hi experts,

Does any know a FM or class, which is released and I can use to get the file name and extension?

Normally I used the FM SPLIT_FILE.

But this FM does only exports CHAR3.

So I get a problem with new office-files (XLSX, DOCX)...

thx for any help

Try with TRINT_FILE_GET_EXTENSION

Thx for fast help.

I've already found this one.

But it is not release...

Isn't there a FM which is released?

thx

Why dont u use just a split statement e.g.

Split file_name into f1 f2.

where f1 contains file name and f2 extension

and both f1 f2 are type string

Because it would be easier...

If the filmename for example is test.data.xlsx I would have to use a loop or do.

And so I would prefer a FM.

Check PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME

Not necessarily, after splitting with '.' as separator, you can DESCRIBE table LINES and get the index of last row and use READ TABLE table INDEX index to get the extension.

That said, if you are on ECC you can do this elegantly with regular expressions. I will update my post later when I have time.

What about a class method then?

  CALL METHOD CL_BCS_UTILITIES=>SPLIT_NAME
      EXPORTING
       iv_name = file_name
        iv_Delimiter = '.'
   importing
      ev_extension = lv_extension.

or CL_OLR3_DMS_WORK=>SPLIT_NAME_TO_EXTENSION

Hi ,

Check CH_SPLIT_FILENAME FM as well. It is a released FM and should server your purpose .
