Get the network link of a file

[telco]

Hi everyone. may i ask for a help.. i really can figure out how to convert this image link of my pc into a network link so that other pc can get it directly..

example
in my pc1 i have this image file save:

filePath = "C:\Users\%username%\Desktop\SharedFolder\test .pmg "

i want to save that path into a text file so that pc2 in the network once it load the txt file it will load to the Image object.

ex: "local networkLink = "file:///" .. filePath:gsub("\", "/")

TextFile.WriteFromString("C:\\Users\\Admin\Desktop \\SharedFolder\", networkLink, false);




PC2
User load the txt file in AMS


Example: Image.Load("Image1", //%username%/SharedFoldertest.png)



Can you help me with this? thank you

Hey Man that is rather vague, I think we have been here before

Your Network share must include PC Name
Have a quick look at this

to make sure the network is setup correctly

Yes computer have setup correctly.. and the shared folder is accesable from each computer.. i just want to convert the local path into network path.

so im having issue now how to convert the path

OK I think your back slashes are wrong way round

Local Path:
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\TEST FOLDER\FILES\test.txt


Network Path:
\\LAPTOP-JKLS\TEST FOLDER\FILES\text.txt


Hi here is what i want to achieve, as you can see that local path is already a shared folder from PC1, now when i browse that folder in PC2 the path change as it in Network Path.

Now, how can i change or convert that Local path into a network path so that i can save it as a string or into a text file?


Thanks

Try the following example that utilizes MemoryEx and netapi. Beware that this example returns all possible share paths for a local path and allows you to filter out hidden shares, but there is not a guaranteed share path to a local path. There can be 0 to N options.

HI Imagine Programming i tried but give negative result

Possible network paths for 'C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\network path':
1 = \\LAPTOP-Proi9\C$\Users\Admin\Desktop\network path
2 = \\LAPTOP-Proi9\Users\\Admin\Desktop\network path

the network should return like this

\\LAPTOP-Proi9\network path

and PS the user browse Files not Folder.
so if the file Path is this:

"C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\network path\sample.txt

the result network path should this:

\\LAPTOP-Proi9\network path\sample.txt

Is this copied from the example application? Can you make a screenshot of it? I see a double slash between Users and Admin in the second entry, which is weird, as it could mean a segment is not appended.

EDIT Please send me the full output in the result

HI Imagine Programming
and PS the user browse Files not Folder.

I'm not making your project for you, the apz is an example, it works with file paths too. But you need to help me out here, by sending me the output.
