Problem with file path.

[palaksha@adobeforums.com]

Hi,

I have a plug-in implemented on visual C++ platform, in that I am creating backup file for PDF to be processed before applying any changes, am using following code to create backup.
CString csSourcefile, csDestfile;
PDDoc Dest_doc = PDDocCreate();
ASPathName asPath= ASPathFromPlatformPath(&buf);
PDDoc Source_doc = PDDocOpen( asPath, ASGetDefaultFileSys(), NULL,TRUE);
PDDocInsertPages(Dest_doc, PDBeforeFirstPage ,Source_doc,0,PDDocGetNumPages(Source_doc), PDInsertBookmarks, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL);

csDestfile = “E:\Some_folder\somefilename.pdf”;
ASPathName asDestPath=ASFileSysCreatePathName(ASGetDefaultFil eSys(),ASAtomFromString("Cstring"), csDestfile, NULL);
PDDocSave(pdNewDoc,PDSaveFull, asDestPath,NULL,NULL,NULL);
PDDocClose (pdNewDoc);

It is working fine and creating backup file in the corresponding folder.
The same above code now I am using in another plug-in, that I am implementing on Visual studio .Net/C++ platform(Acrobat sdk 7.0).
But it is not creating the backup file in the correct folder, but creating some unknown file format on the desktop with filename having only one char. Eg. For the above destfile(E:\Some_folder\somefilename.pdf)
a unknown file type with name “E” is created on desktop. If I give .pdf extension to the above file, actually it is the backup file that I have to create, but with wrong pathname/filename. Why it is creating problem on .Net platform, and not creating with correct pathname/filename.
Can anybody tell me?

I'd say you need to use double \ in file path

csDestfile = “E:\\Some_folder\\somefilename.pdf”;

Sry,
I used correct path in coding. I mean "E:\\Some_folder\\somefilename.pdf" itself in coding. and it worked on visual C++ envoirnmentm, am getting problem only on .Net/C++ envoirnment.

Have you traced into the code and watched the values in the debugger?

[palaksha@adobeforums.com]

Yes Leonard i checked that, am getting correct values(correct pathname) during debugging.

There are some APIs for returning the text equivalent of an
ASPathName. It is probably worth trying these on asDestPath to see
what they think the value is.

Yes Aandi, i checked using
char* Name = ASFileSysDisplayStringFromPath(ASGetDefaultFileSys (), asDestPath);
suppose original file is
sourceFile = “E:\\Some_folder\\somefilename.pdf”;
then i want to creat backup in the folder
csDestfile = “E:\\Some_folder\\Backup_folder\\somefilename.pdf” ;
and my project folder is, say
"D:\\Main_folder\\Application_Folder",
then during debugging am getting pathname for backup file (obtained from ASFileSysDisplayStringFromPath) as "D:\\Main_folder\\Application_Folder\\E", which is supposed to be
“E:\\Some_folder\\Backup_folder\\somefilename.pdf” ; ,
am not getting where the problem is. In my first post, i given the code implemented. please tell me what's wrong with it.
