Get Sequence Directory for property loader

[Skydt]

Hi,

Im using the property loader in order to retrieve test parameters for my different testroutines.

How do i get the directory where my sequence file is placed, so that my property loader wont care where the entire Folder is dropped and launched from, when trying to load my settings.

I know i can do this "RunState.SequenceFile.Path", but thats the FULL path to my sequence file, what if i only wanted the directory where the sequence file is placed.

It just seems obvious that there should be a function for this.

(Vers. 3.1)

Thx in Advance

Hi,

The only way is to get the full path and strip the sequencefile filename and extension.

I know this thread is a few years old but I thought I would append to it for the bennifit of anyone else looking for this specific answer, like I was.

In your property loader setup, on the source tab, select "Use Expression To Specify File" and type in:

Left(ThisContext.RunState.SequenceFile.Path, Find( ThisContext.RunState.SequenceFile.Path, "\\",0,False,True  )) + "\\Limits.txt"

Where Limits.txt is whatever file name you want to use and the properity loader will look for the file in the same directory as the loaded sequence file.

Hello,

10 years later...

an I get the code to read "RunState.SequenceFile.Path" please ? 

I did this, but I get an error saying that the variable SequenceFile didn't exist :

TS_PropertyExists(SeqContext, &errorInfo, "RunState.ThisContext.SequenceFile.Path", 0, &propertyExists);

	if (propertyExists)
	{
		TS_SequenceGetName (SeqContext, &errorInfo, &sequenceName);

    	        TS_PropertyGetValString(SeqContext, &errorInfo, "RunState.ThisContext.SequenceFile.Path", 0, &stringVal);
	}
