Subject:DumpRegionsToFiles - splitting Region names

Hello, I posted before about making region info into XML for use in Flash. Many thanks for the point in the right direction. :) So far so good, except I can't figure out how to split the region names. Each region is named something like "hello; greeting" ,etc. I modified the DumpRegionsToFiles.cs script "WriteMarkersTo Stream" function as follows, in an attempt to split marker/region names that are separated by a semicolon... and output the results in XML format.

________________________________________________________
public void WriteMarkersToStream(StreamWriter stm, ISfFileHost file)
{
stm.WriteLine(String.Format("<totalMarkers>{0} </totalMarkers>", file.MarkerCount));
stm.WriteLine(String.Format("<fullPath>{0}</fullPath>", file.Filename));



ISfPositionFormatter PosFmt = file.Formatter;

int ii = 0;
foreach (SfAudioMarker mk in file.Markers)


{
string nm = mk.Name;
string[] arMkrNm = new string[2];
char[] splitter = {';'};
arMkrNm = nm.Split(";");

stm.WriteLine("<marker{0}>", mk.Ident);
stm.WriteLine(" <name>{0}</name>", arMkrNm[0]);
stm.WriteLine(" <type>{0}</type>", arMkrNm[1]);
stm.WriteLine(" <startPoint>{0}</startPoint>", PosFmt.Format(mk.Start));
stm.WriteLine(" <length>{0}</length>", PosFmt.Format(mk.Length));
stm.WriteLine("</marker{0}>", mk.Ident);


++ii;
}

stm.WriteLine("");
stm.Flush();

The compiler returns the following error:
"The best overloaded method match for 'string.Split(params char[])' has some invalid arguments"

use

arMkrNm = nm.Split(splitter);

instead of

arMkrNm = nm.Split(";");

gotcha... works now. Many thanks!! I'm pretty new to all this, and am finding loads of good information looking back through past threads on this forum. New information = new questions...

1. How can I split the region name and then loop through the array to find out how many items it has, writing a separate XML tag for each one?

I assume it will be something like:

int i=1;
foreach (string item in arMkrNm)
{
stm.WriteLine(" <name{i}>{0}</name{i}>", arMkrNm);
++i;
}





2. "file.Filename" gets the entire path to the file. Is there an easy way just to get the filename minus the path? or do I have to split the path into an array, separated by "/" and then just choose the last item? I can't seem to find info about this in the documentation...

Thanks again!!

Wes

I figured out the answer to both questions... things are getting clearer..

int i=1;
foreach (string item in arMkrNm)
{
stm.WriteLine(" <name{1:d2}>{0}</name{1:d2}>", item, i);
++i;
}

and after looking back at previous threads... i found this..

// how to get the filename and path name
//The Path class is part of the .NET runtime, and provides methods for breaking a pathname up
//into it's parts and combining them back together.
string strFullFilePathName = file.Filename;
string strDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(strFullFilePathName);
string strFilename = Path.GetFileName(strFullFilePathName);

Thanks for this great forum!!
