VFP Select Image from URL

cURL = "http://www.mysite.com/images\subdir\nothersubdir\image.jpg"

? JUSTFNAME(STRTRAN(cUrl,"/","\"))
? JUSTPATH(STRTRAN(cUrl,"/","\"))

Thanks CaptainCyril.

I did a google search for 'some image' and chose the first one to come up and ran the URL through what you provided but it didn't return either just the image name nor just the url.

Here's the url:
http://c438342.r42.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Peter-Bjorn-and-John-Gimme-Some.jpeg

Sometimes the slashes will be mixed between forward and back, sometimes they will be only forward (like this url), and sometimes only back.

What I need is to derive just the image name, in this case 'Peter-Bjorn-and-John-Gimme-Some.jpeg' and just the URL without the image name, in this case 'http://c438342.r42.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/'

Thanks!

That's why I used STRTRAN to change all slashes to backslashes if they are local on the PC.

You can do the reverse:

? JUSTFNAME(STRTRAN(cUrl,"\","/"))
? JUSTPATH(STRTRAN(cUrl,"\","/"))

Like this you will use the URL for internet. Do you wish to maintain the slashes?

Oh I see now what the problem is. It's my function that's causing the issue. I'm not sure why but it's not working on this URL.

What I was using:

	lcURLImage = ALLTRIM(thisform.txtURLImage.value)
	lcImageOnly = LOWER(lcURLImage)
	lnRat = RAT("/", lcImageOnly)
	IF (lnRat = 0)
		lnRat = RAT("\", lcImageOnly)
	ENDIF
	IF (lnRat > 0)
		lcImageOnly = SUBSTR(lcImageOnly, lnRat + 1)
	ENDIF

	lcURL = STRTRAN(lcURLImage, lcImageOnly, '')

Select allOpen in new window

It was working previously, I'm not sure why it's not now.

Change

lnRat = RAT("/", lcImageOnly)
IF (lnRat = 0)
      lnRat = RAT("\", lcImageOnly)
ENDIF

to

lnRat = MAX(RAT("/",lcImageOnly),RAT("\",lcImageOnly))

to get the maximum delimiter place no matter what type it is.

Why aren't you using the functions that I gave you? They are shorter and more efficient.

I'm not sure, I must have overlooked that somehow. You are right though, much better.
Tried it, liked it, it worked - thank you!!

Very much welcome!
