filepath

I am currently making a small simple Java program for my Computer Science Final, which needs to get the path of the current running class. The class files are in the C:\2013\game\ folder. To get this path, I call this code segment in my main class constructor: public game(){ String testPath = this.getClass().getResource("").getPath(); //Rest of game } However, this command instead returns this String: "/" despite the correct output being "C:/2013/game" Additionally, I attempted to rectify this by using this code: public game(){ String testPath = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("")

I am trying to read an XSLT file from disk in my ASP.Net MVC controller. What I am doing is the following: string filepath = HttpContext.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath; filepath += "/Content/Xsl/pubmed.xslt"; string xsl = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(filepath); However, half way down this thread on forums.asp.net there is the following quote HttpContext.Current is evil and if you use it anywhere in your mvc app you are doing something wrong because you do not need it. Whilst I am not using Current , I am wondering what is the best way to determine the absolute physical path of a file in MVC?

What is the best way to find out where notepad.exe and mspaint.exe are that will work across various versions of Windows? Should I get the Windows directory via SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_WINDOWS, NULL, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, dir) , and then traverse through all the subdirectories to look for the two files? (Assume that I am not interested in anything outside the Windows folder.) This works on every Windows box I've got access to (XP+). c:\> for %i in (cmd.exe) do @echo %~$PATH:i C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe c:\> for %i in (python.exe) do @echo %~$PATH:i C:\Python25\python.exe The great thing is,

I have stumbled to following code example: $image = 'file/path'; $code = $tmhOAuth->request('POST', 'https://upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json', array( 'media[]' => "@{$image}", 'status' => "Don't slip up" // Don't give up.. ), true, // use auth true // multipart ); The confusing bit is "@{$image}", what that "at" sign does in front of the file path? Thanks! I don't know what library you're using, but I assume it uses the PHP cURL extension internally, because that's how you specify to cURL the path to a file that you want to upload, i.e., by prepending the path with an @ .
