Hi All,
I'm willing to bet someone else has already asked this question but I'm
having trouble searching through the message board posts. Sorry!
I'm trying to save an IFile to String and later use that String to get
back to the IFile. I have a reference to the containing project if that
helps.
I'm generating the string in the following way:
IFile file ...
String toSave = file.getFullPath().toString();
I've tried the following two ways to get back to the IFile...
IProject project ... //container project
String filePath ... //the String generated previously
//1, gives me null
Path path = new Path(filePath);
IFile file = root.getFileForLocation(path);
//2, also give me null
IResource resource = project.findMember(path);
if(resource != null && resource.getType() == IResource.FILE)
IFile file = (IFile)resource;
Any help would be greatly appreciated, again sorry for the likely double
post.
-Dan

Dan,
The full path includes the project name. You'd want to use the full path
from the IWorkspaceRoot.

Hi,
Take a look at the ResourceFactory (org.eclipse.ui.ide).
Valère.
