Extracting Filename From Path
Nov 8, 2013
I have to extract only the filename from the below filepath.
The first part prodserverexport always remains the same. A new folder is created prodserverexport 20071001, prodserverexport 200710012 etc each time the file is dropped . I want to extract only the part after that namely 20071001-200001-e430f8fd-PREC272.wma and like wise and dump it into a table.
prodserverexport2007100120071001-200001-e430f8fd-PREC272.wma
prodserverexport2007100220071002-013203-d00b2007-PREC120.wma
prodserverexport2007100220071002-032038-18381b92-PREC207.wma
prodserverexport2007100820071008-144758-16359a7b-PREC224.wma
prodserverexport2007100920071009-170426-4ed3535c-PREC97.wma

Doesn't appear you can do this.
Am I wrong?

Hi,
I have inherited a database that has a table called "Resources" that contains a field called "FilePath". FilePath is a VarChar(100) and contains the server path and filename of an XML file on the server hard disk.
I need to join the data in the XML with rows in the "Resources" table (and other tables).
Is it possible to get a Stored Procedure to load the XML file into a temporary table?
Is loading it into a table the best way to do it - or can I join directly to the XML file somehow?
What is the best approach? (I know nothing about XML in SQL Server yet)
Thanks in advance,
Chiz.

I'm guessing the best way / only way to store a filename is to store it as a varchar?
I'm using it as a reference to pictures wefor a gallery

Hi, for my photo album database I'm trying to decide whether to store the actual photos as images in the db or whether to leave them in file directories with just the path & filename in the db. As a beginner in this field I don't know how either of these options compare (e.g. in terms of performance, complexity, flexibility and maintainablity) so any advice on the pros and cons of each would be appreciated.

Hi Champs,
Scenario Configuration : VB.net 2005 Code, WebService for Executing SSIS on Server, SSIS deployed on the Database Server
Problem Description : We are developing windows applicaiton in which we call webservice which was deployed on the same server where SSIS packages are deployed.
Now from Code we are passing FilePath name in variable and execute the Package. But the SSis result says that
The file name "\computernamefol1fol2fol3fol4abc.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
More Information:
1. Full Permission are given on this network folder.
2. Package executes successfully from SSIS development solution (BIS solution)
3. Deployed packed executes successfully from the Database Server.
4. From Development pc packege executes successfully.
5. Other packages deployed on the same server executed suucessfully with same configuration and scenario.
Only this package is not executing.
-- the only differece with this package with other is -
using ".txt" extension in Flat file connection and using VB Script task
Can any one suggest the appropirate solution for this problem...
Thanks

When trying to install Business Contact Manager (BCM) for Outlook 2007, the setup failed and I was refered to a log file in my Local Settings/Temp folder. The log actually says that Business Contact Manager was installed sucessfully! BCM is supposed to install SQL Express 2005 as an instance or as instance if SQL Express is already installed. There is an MSSMLBIZ instance in Services..
Who can I send the Log File to for analysis and the fix feedback?
When I first went into Computer Management and clicked on Services and Applications in the left panel, the error message appeared "Snap-in failed to intialize. Name: SQL Server Configuration Manager CLSID:{CA9F8727-31DF-41D2-975C-887D84903967} This message diappeared when I clicked on Services and Applications again. Under Services, there are 3 SQL services - one is an application that was uninstalled 3-4 weeks ago and I disabled this service. The other 2 are: SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) and the other one is SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) When I tried to start either of the last 2, the message appeared: Services "Could not start the SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified. Under Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSGL.1 folder is mostly empty. So, it seems like the Path in the Registry is not valid and that nothing is being installed in the MSSQL.1 folder. If so, how do I fix this?
How do I get the BCM SQL instance to install and run properly? what do the messages in Services mean and how do I resolve these.
Thank you!

If you use "SELECT filename FROM sys.sysdatabases" this will return
the full path , such as "E:MSSQLdatamyData.MDF" ,
is it possible to return just the "myData.MDF" part of it?
I know that you can parse the string , but is it stored somewhere else , or is there a command that will return just the physical file name ?

Hi Guys, got a question that I'm not sure there is an answer to other than 'No Way'.
I have to export a file whose filename must include a sequence number. I have created the table to hold the seq# and the code to increment it. My problem is how do I include the seq# in the output filename. I am using the Flat File Destination tool for exporting. should I be using another tool?
Any suggestions?
Thanx,
Trudye

Does anyone know how to execute a directory listing of a file and return the file name to a variable in SQL? For instance, there's a file called c:datach20011010.txt and i execute the following:
xp_cmdshell 'dir c:datach*.txt'
or any other transact sql or procedure, how can i get the filename into a variable...all in sql?
FYI - I need to pass a filename to a process so that it can bcp the data into a temp table. But I don't know the filename at the time the process is setup/scheduled.
TIA,
Mike Nolen

Hi,
I am using a foreach loop to go through the .txt files inside a folder.
Using a variable I can pickup the filenames the loop is going through.
At present there is a sql task inside the foreach loop which takes the filename as a parameter and passes this filename to a stored procedure.
Now I would like to add one extra step before this sql task. Would like to have a dataflow with flatfile source which connects to oledb destination.
The question is:
While in the loop, how is it possible to pass the filename to the flatfile source using the FileName variable which I have created?
Please note, this is a different question to my other post.
Many Thanks

Hi,
I think I may have mis-guided some of you in my previous post.
So I thought I explain it properly this time in a new post...
Here is the description of the ssis package:
Inside the connection manager there is a connection to the sql server database and a flat file connection.
The flat file connection inside the connection manager has the expression set
i.e. ConnectionString set to @[User::FileName]
And so there is nothing inside the connectionstring property of this flatfile connection.
Inside control flow:
1)
Dataflow which contains a flat file source and an ole db destination
The flatfile source is supposed to pickup the .csv file that gets passed to the ssis package.
Then the ole db destination is where the .csv gets imported into a sql server table.
2)
Back in the control flow, there is a task that calls a stored procedure with the parameter which is set to FileName
The question is:
How does this FileName parameter gets set before it is passed to the stored procedure?
Many thanks

Hi,
Using a ssis package I have several tasks.
A variable is also created called FileName.
There is a flat file connection called InputFileName.
initially when I designed the package, I hardcoded the pass of one of the .csv files into the path of the flatfile connection.
There is a dataflow which has flatfile source and oledb destination. These two basically pickup the file and import into the database using mapping.
So therefore the package works and data gets imported into the database.
Then I used the variable to make the filename dynamic. So I removed the hardcoded connectionstring in the InputFileName.
Is this the right thing to do to make the package dynamic? I would like to pass in any .csv filename and so the package runs.
My question is now that the connectionstring is deleted but instead placed an expression for the filename, then how does the system know which file to use?
Thanks

Hi, I want to get my SSIS package to look for a file in a named directory that has a ceratin string in the filename.
example - My file is in a folder called data and the filename is 'System_UT_INCR_BOOKINGHEADER_20080214000000.TXT' Every day the fiel name changes to reflect the current date. I need my package to search for the String "BOOKINGHEADER". I know I need to create a variable with that value but I am not sure (using the example below) how to write the code to do this.
Imports System.IO
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main()
Try
File.Move(Dts.Variables("Source").Value.ToString, Dts.Variables("Destination").Value.ToString)
Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, "", "File Moved Succesfully", "", 0, True)
Catch ex As Exception
Dts.Events.FireError(1, "", "Source file or destinations does not exist", "", 0)
End Try
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success

I take a backupfile every night and its named like 20070911_xvall.bak.
Now I need a procedure for an automatic restore in another sql server but I have to do a check to se that the date of the backupfile is the same as actual date so it can¨t happened that an older backupfile being restored.
Is it a good way to take actual date och build up the wanted filename and how can I then check if the file exist, its stored on another computer?
Anyone who has some sample I can start with?

Hello,
I have a question regarding the report file which is included in an email, when a subscription is created:
Is it possible to programmatically add something to the name of the created file of the subscription? I want to have one parameter of the report, which is a date, added at the end of the filename to let the clients distinguish between different report files.
Thank you in advance.

Basically like the topic says, I need to populate a filename with data from other columns and im having a tough time doing it.
Code:
UPDATE nice_cls_calls_0027
SET vcarchivepath = 'G:Nice Storageicestorage.safeautonet.netSafe Auto Task - Logger (807101)2006_feb_1SC_807101_'start_time'_'=stop_time'_'=channel'_'=cls_call_id'.aud'
I need start_time, stop_time, channel, and cls_call_id to populate the filename. The first 2 are datetime fields in the db and no conversion is needed for them, just raw data. The remaining two are smallint and raw data is needed there also. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TY

Hi!

Jan 30, 2006
I need to use DTS to create a dynamic destination filename based on the value of a field. I tried creating a DTS package using the wizard. It works fine if I wanted a static filename for the destination filename. I tried creating a Dynamic Properties Task by selecting Connection2/OLEDB Properties/Data Source and then using a SQL Statement to return a value for the name of the file. It doesn't seem to run the query everytime the DTS is ran. The first time I run it it names the file correctly but after that it keeps naming the file the old value from the SQL statement. Any idea what I need to do to fix this?

I already posted this question in the Wrong Forum.
However I was wondering if it is possible to create a variable that holds the filename as an expression. I am using a For each loop to pick up files and i want to insert the 'Filename' as a colum so that i can differentiate among the rows in my destination Table.
Using the 'Derived Colum' in DTS I can link the colum to the variable. However i do not know how to create the variable which will store the filename for each file....
Any Clues...
Would really appreciate the help.....
