Hello,

How can I read the complete path (not only the filename) of an opened
file within an editor?

Example code:
public class MyTestEditor extends EditorPart {

public void init(IEditorSite site, IEditorInput input) {
setSite(site);
setInput(input);
String filename = input.getName();
/* ??????????????????????????????????
String path =
??????????????????????????????????
*/
}
}

Thank you in advance,
René

Hi,

Hi,

The interface IEditorInput has methods to get the complete path of the
file, provided that you are dealing with StorageEditorInput object...See
below...The 'm_file' has the complete path.

The interface IStorageEditorInput (the sub interface of IEditorInput)
has the method getStorage() that returns the IStorage object. From
there call, IStorage.getFullPath() that returns an IPath object which
has many methods to get information on the file/the storage.

Hope that helps.

Alex.

TNX, it does.
Currently I am dealing with IFileEditorInput, which is sufficient for me
right now [ IFile file = ((IFileEditorInput)input).getFile(); ) ].
