EncodedFile Property

Filename of the encoded data.

Syntax

 netcode.getEncodedFile([callback])
 netcode.setEncodedFile( encodedFile, [callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getEncodedFile([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setEncodedFile([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property contains the filename of the encoded data. If the encoded data is spread over several files, the filenames are passed to EncodedFile in the form name?. Question marks "?" are expanded to numerals starting with 0. The filenames should exist as path\file000.ext and passed to EncodedFile in the form name???. Question marks "?" are expanded to numerals starting with 000 (the number of zeros "0" equals that of question marks "?").

The class appends the extension ".uue", ".b16", or ".q_p" depending on Format immediately after the generated numbers. FileCnt contains the number of encoded files.

See also the Format property, and the MaxFileSize config setting when working with multiple files.
