4.3. Examples

Relative pathname
Copy link

Consider a File consumer endpoint, where the starting directory is specified as a relative pathname. For example, the following File endpoint has the starting directory, ./filelanguage: 
file://filelanguage
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Now, while scanning the filelanguage directory, suppose that the endpoint has just consumed the following file: 
./filelanguage/test/hello.txt
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
And, finally, assume that the filelanguage directory itself has the following absolute location: 
/workspace/camel/camel-core/target/filelanguage
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Given the preceding scenario, the file language variables return the following values, when applied to the current exchange:
Expand
ExpressionResult
file:nametest/hello.txt
file:name.exttxt
file:name.noexttest/hello
file:onlynamehello.txt
file:onlyname.noexthello
file:exttxt
file:parentfilelanguage/test
file:pathfilelanguage/test/hello.txt
file:absolutefalse
file:absolute.path/workspace/camel/camel-core/target/filelanguage/test/hello.txt

Absolute pathname
Copy link

Consider a File consumer endpoint, where the starting directory is specified as an absolute pathname. For example, the following File endpoint has the starting directory, /workspace/camel/camel-core/target/filelanguage: 
file:///workspace/camel/camel-core/target/filelanguage
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Now, while scanning the filelanguage directory, suppose that the endpoint has just consumed the following file: 
./filelanguage/test/hello.txt
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Given the preceding scenario, the file language variables return the following values, when applied to the current exchange:
Expand
ExpressionResult
file:nametest/hello.txt
file:name.exttxt
file:name.noexttest/hello
file:onlynamehello.txt
file:onlyname.noexthello
file:exttxt
file:parent/workspace/camel/camel-core/target/filelanguage/test
file:path/workspace/camel/camel-core/target/filelanguage/test/hello.txt
file:absolutetrue
file:absolute.path/workspace/camel/camel-core/target/filelanguage/test/hello.txt
