Hi,
I am programming a DLL for use with a Code Library VI.
One procedure in this DLL gets a LabVIEW Path as a parameter.
So far so good:
FNamePtr(path, strptr) gives the proper filename, etc. FExists(path) reports the file exists, and is a file, as expected.
However: I need the full path and filename written to a conventional C-string, so that this can be passed to another function.
I think FFlattenPath() is meant to do this, but it does not work.
I have:
...
fprintf(file, "len = %d\n", FFlattenPath(filepath, 0));
FFlattenPath(filepath, filenameP);
PToCStr(filenameP, filenameC);
fprintf(file, "file = %s\n", filenameC);
...
Two problems:
- the debugging text "len = %d" does not show the correct length
.
- the filename written to the debug file is also very incorrect.
How is one supposed to use this function?
Thanks,
Kevin
