Search a File into a PC

[Former Member]

Hi Experts, I need a FM to search a file into a directory of a PC. The class cl_gui_frontend_services is not good for me because i don´t execute ths SAP GUI, I´m conecting with SAP via WEB.

Thanks.

Thanks but I need to know if a file exists in a PC but from a FM in SAP.

[athavanraja]

i dont know of a FM which can work from web. but you can do this (checking whether file exists in users comupter) using javascript file system object.

check this link for sample code

Hi,

The function module 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL' can be used to retrieve the files in the application server directory.

CALL FUNCTION 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'

EXPORTING

NAME =

TABLES

FILE_TBL =

• EXCEPTIONS

• ARGUMENT_ERROR = 1

• NOT_FOUND = 2

• OTHERS = 3

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Hi Jorge,

try this:

DATA: LV_CNT TYPE I,

LS_FILENAME TYPE FILE_TABLE,

LT_FILENAME TYPE FILETABLE.

*

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES

EXPORTING

DIRECTORY = 'C:\'

FILTER = '.'

FILES_ONLY = 'X'

CHANGING

FILE_TABLE = LT_FILENAME

COUNT = LV_CNT.

*

LOOP AT LT_FILENAME INTO LS_FILENAME.

WRITE: / LS_FILENAME.

ENDLOOP.

JAVA webdynpro. Thanks a lot.

[athavanraja]

i am not a java expert, but to handle client machine file system from java apps. you should use something like

if ( new java.io.File("C:\test.txt").exists() ) ...

for more on this check this link
