GetFileTagAsAnsiString Method

Retrieves the value of an AnsiString-typed file tag attached to the specified vault item.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetFileTagAsAnsiString(const char* lpszFileName, const char* lpszTagName);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetFileTagAsAnsiString(LPCWSTR lpszFileName, LPCWSTR lpszTagName);
- (NSString*)getFileTagAsAnsiString:(NSString*)fileName :(NSString*)tagName;
#define MID_CBDRIVE_GETFILETAGASANSISTRING 37

CBFSSTORAGE_EXTERNAL int CBFSSTORAGE_CALL CBFSStorage_CBDrive_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);

Remarks

This method retrieves the value of an AnsiString-typed file tag, identified by TagName, attached to the vault item (file, directory, or alternate stream) specified by FileName. If there isn't an AnsiString-typed file tag with the specified TagName attached to the specified vault item, this method fails with an error.

The value passed for FileName must be a vault-local absolute path. The value passed for TagName may be up to 4095 characters in length (not including the null terminator).

Please refer to the File Tags topic for more information.

This method can only retrieve typed file tags created with the SetFileTagAsAnsiString method. Typed file tags created with the SetFileTagAsString method must be retrieved using the GetFileTagAsString method.

Note: This method can only be called when Active is true.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
