file-extension

is there a way to achieve calling URL http://mywebsite/myarea/mycontroller/myaction.xml This would basically "fake" requesting a file but the result would be an action operation that would serve a file created dynamically? I tried this: context.MapRoute( "Xml_filename", "Xml/{controller}/{action}.xml" ); but whenever there is a filextension in the URL the routing fails and behaves as I was requesting a file directly. I suspect this might be because of using extension less url handler. <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH

Suppose from index.py with CGI, I have post file foo.fasta to display file. I want to change foo.fasta 's file extension to be foo.aln in display file. How can I do it? Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams os.path.splitext() , os.rename() for example: # renamee is the file getting renamed, pre is the part of file name before extension and ext is current extension pre, ext = os.path.splitext(renamee) os.rename(renamee, pre + new_extension) FryDay import os thisFile = "mysequence.fasta" base = os.path.splitext(thisFile)[0] os.rename(thisFile, base + ".aln") Where thisFile = the absolute path of the file you

I'm trying to programmatically check file associations by the file extension (for example .jnlp files). I keep reading that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\JNLPFile\Shell\Open\Command is the Registry key to check. However, if you change the association through Windows Explorer: Open With > Choose Program > (Always use the selected program) the change isn't at all reflected in this Registry key. Where else is this information stored? Take a look in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ and the sub-key of that is the extension you reassigned. Under

Is there a resource that lists ALL the mimeTypes in existence? I have found a few places with under 1000 mimeTypes, but then they still don't include common ones like .rar, .fla, .rb, .docx! Does anyone have a COMPLETE list of mimetypes? Not down to the most obsure "company-only" ones, but at least all of the ones we might use. Also, I'm looking for a list that maps file extensions to mimeTypes. http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/ lists the "official" mime-types, but it doesn't prevent anyone making their own an not registering it with IANA. Here's the most up-to-date mime.types

Given a string "filename.conf" , how to I verify the extension part? I need a cross platform solution. You have to make sure you take care of file names with more then one dot. example: c:\.directoryname\file.name.with.too.many.dots.ext would not be handled correctly by strchr or find. My favorite would be the boost filesystem library that have an extension(path) function brian newman Is this too simple of a solution? #include <iostream> #include <string> int main() { std::string fn = "filename.conf"; if(fn.substr(fn.find_last_of(".") + 1) == "conf") { std::cout << "Yes..." << std::endl; }

On a Linux machine I would like to traverse a folder hierarchy and get a list of all of the distinct file extensions within it. What would be the best way to achieve this from a shell? Try this (not sure if it's the best way, but it works): find . -type f | perl -ne 'print $1 if m/\.([^.\/]+)$/' | sort -u It work as following: Find all files from current folder Prints extension of files if any Make a unique sorted list No need for the pipe to sort , awk can do it all: find . -type f | awk -F. '!a[$NF]++{print $NF}' ChristopheD Recursive version: find . -type f | sed -e 's/.*\.//' | sed -e 's/.
