IResource from a full path [message #321214]

Hi All,

I hope this is a really simple question.

If I have a full path to a file and I have an open project, how can I get
the IResource that represents that file within the project?

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks Prakash,

I tried that and I'm not sure that what I get back is correct.

If I have a project that exists at:
C:\MyProjects\Project1

And I have a file string (for a file that does exist) at:
C:\MyProjects\Project1\SomeDirectory\File1.ext.

If I call project.getFile("C:\MyProjects\Project1\SomeDirectory\File1.ext ")
The path of the returned file is not correct, it seems.

It returns:

"Project1/MyProjects/Project1/SomeDirectory/File1.ext"

You can see that the project name is listed twice as well as the directory
name that contains the project.

Am I missing something?

Thanks again,
Mark

the path should be relative to the Project. Not an absolute path.

Thanks Prakash

That goes back to my original question....

If I have a full path, is there a direct way of converting that into a
project relative resource.

Thanks again,
Mark

Hi,

IFile file =
ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getFileForLocation( new
Path("C:\MyProjects\Project1\SomeDirectory\File1.ext"));

The problem with using project.getFile() is that it expects the path to
be relative to the project, but it wasn't. It was relative to the root
of the dis drive.

IWorkspaceRoot.getFileForLocation() expects the path to be relative to
the root of the disk drive.
