Lucene query for querying file asset

[trinity trinity]

Hello Everyone. 

I am trying to get a file asset from File Asset structure by its path using below query

+contentType:FileAsset +(conhost:SYSTEM_HOST) +live:true +path:*/foldername/filename.pdf*  

But this query is not returning any result. But for the given path I ve an file asset . Please let me know how to pull up a file asset content from File Asset structure using its path value

Thanks in Advance

That probably won't work; this is very dependent on what version you are running, as older versions did have a folder path and actual legacy files. 

Here's a query from the most recent version: (searching for 'contains detail')

+contentType:FileAsset  +title:'detail'^15 +deleted:false +working:true 

I think that when you are referring to files, though, the 'folder' is not text-searchable, you need to get the folder identifier ( +conFolder:513aec5b\-3aaa\-4df2\-b306\-83e77ba334d9)

Obviously, if you have the option, use the 'Search' feature and use the 'show query'. 

Sorry I can't be more precise - this can really be a pain.

Thanks Mark. 

I have only path for the document  which includes file name and parent folder ,  from which  I need to get the file asset content. Is there any other way to get it using just relative path for a document from root folder

[Mark Pitely]

Maybe? I should have been more explicit before; what version of dotCMS are you running? How it works changes quite a bit!

Also, remember that dotCMS runs on a virtual file platform - there is no 'root folder' or 'path' you can't think of this like a flat-file /var/www thing. 

You can probably find the folder ID by looking at the folder in the tree-browser and clicking on the folder.
