Decoding file name.

[Prasad Muley]

Hi All,

     file name gets store as 93f00342868f4085.73716c2e6c6f67.log in db field.

I've tried to decode it using base64 But didn't get the original file name.

Is there any way to decode it and get the original file name?

You could try something like this:

    (filename, fullfilename) = db.tablename.uploadfield.retrieve(record.uploadfield, nameonly=True)

That's the easiest way. If you do want to decode the filename yourself, note the encoded filename is only the last segment of the new filename (i.e., the part after the last "." -- in this case, "73716c2e6c6f67").

And

newname = ''
for c in filein:
  newname = newname + "%x" % (ord(c))

rather than base64?
