Syntax

bool okutil_make_file_path( string * pstrFilePath, int nPathType, LPCSTR lpcszSubFolder, LPCSTR lpcszFileName, LPCSTR lpcszExt = NULL, bool bCheckExist = true )

Parameters

pstrFilePath: [output] a pointer to a string that holds the file path.
nPathType: [input] one of the constants in the enum ORIGIN_PATH_TYPE
lpcszSubFolder: [input] an optional subfolder "FitFunc\\ABC", or NULL. Leave off final backslash. It will be added.
lpcszFileName: [input] file name with or without extension, if with extension, then lpcszExt must be NULL
lpcszExt: [input] file extension including the dot ".ext"
bCheckExist: [input] if specified path and file can be constructed, then set this to true will further test if file actually existed

Return

Returns true if full path is constructed and exists if bCheckExist is true. If bCheckExist is false, returns true is file path constructed.

Examples

EX1

    string strFilePath;
    bool bReturn, bCheckExist = false;
    bReturn = okutil_make_file_path(strFilePath, ORIGIN_PATH_USER, "FitFunc", "simplefilename", ".fdf", bCheckExist);
    printf("The path made from ORIGIN_PATH_USER, FitFunc, simplefilename, .fdf is \n%s\n\n", strFilePath);
    
    // if the filemname has extension, then set lpcszExt to NULL
    bReturn = okutil_make_file_path(strFilePath, ORIGIN_PATH_USER, "FitFunc", "filename.fdf", NULL, bCheckExist);
    printf("The path made from ORIGIN_PATH_USER, FitFunc, filename.fdf is \n%s\n\n", strFilePath);

    else
        printf("The path \n%s\ndoes not exist on my computer.\n\n", strFilePath);
