Rename the uploaded file

[bijan]

Hi,

I like to rename the file name in one of my forms prior to saving to the upload folder. Where is the best place to do this?

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for doing the weekly webinars.
I found the solution in the March 2015 webinar.
In case someone needs it, If you use String Theory you can do the following in the savefile routine:

    loc:Name = st.FileNameOnly(loc:Picture)
    loc:Path = st.Pathonly(loc:Picture)
    loc:Ext  = st.ExtensionOnly(loc:Picture)
    loc:Picture = Clip(loc:Path) & '\' & 'newfilename.' & loc:Ext
    p_web.SSV('loc:Picture',loc:Picture)

In my case I don't need to save the path/file name in any record. I just need to upload it.
