SQLite has a whacky 'rtrim()' function which can trim things other than 
whitespace. So work out which characters you want to strip from after the last 
'/', presumably something like

'abcd... ABCD... 123... ._'

and do something like

UPDATE locations SET jpegPath TO (rtrim(filePath, 'abcd... ABCD... 123... ._') 
|| 'folder.jpg')

I haven't tried it but it might work.

Simon.

You want to strip a complete path + name and save them as separate
fields, or you already have it splitted and want to join them together ?

[sqlite] SQLite query help pls

2010-10-17 Thread Dickie.wild

Hi All,

I was hoping for a little help, well little would be an understatement, I
currently have a file location in a field and i would like to take all of it
up untill the last / (folder) and copy it in to another column and then
attach folder.jpg on the end. So the end result ends up being something like
c:\rich\Eminem\folder.jpg

I have never used SQLite before and help would be great

R
