Any way to get file type?

Reply Quote

Is there any way to get filetype out of the uploaded file? I know I can extract from original filename (not from the temp directory as it has resx on the end), but sometimes the file is not the same type as it's ending, is there a way to detect this?

Hi Jerry2,

For now asp uploader doesn't have the function to get the upload file type. Sorry for your inconvenience.

Regards,

Ken

for i = 1 to len(mvcfile.filename)-1
if mid(mvcfile.filename,len(mvcfile.filename)-i,1)="." then

filetype = Right(mvcfile.filename,i)

exit for
end if

This is a simple way, if you run this loop with each uploaded file, it will start with the furthest right character and work backwards until it finds the "." in the name; and then take all characters to the right as the "file type".
