GetTapeName()

Returns the full path filename of the NxCore Tape being processed.


    #define cszNxCoreGetTapeName "sNxCoreGetTapeName"
    typedef int (__stdcall *NxCoreGetTapeName) (char* szBuffTapename, int nBufferBytes);

    int GetTapeName(
        char*                           szBuffTapename,
        int                             nBufferBytes
        );

Value of szBuffTapename in different conditions

When processing	szBuffTapename	Comments
Real time	""	full tape name is at (char*) &szBuffTapename[1]
Historical tape	"C:\NxCoreData\20YYMMDD.XX.nxc"	full tape name is provided
State tape	"C:\NxCoreData\20YYMMDD.XX.nxc"	full tape name is provided, you need to save off the state name in a global variable or in UserData

Example

C++ Java Python

char buf[MAX_PATH];

NxCore.GetTapeName(buf, sizeof(buf));

if (*buf == '\0')
    printf("Processing real-time tape: %s\n", buf + 1);
else
    printf("Processing historical or state tape: %s\n", buf);

String tapeName = GetTapeName();
if(tapeName.length() == 0)
    System.out.println("Processing real-time tape");// Java does not include real-time tape path
else
    System.out.println("Processing historical or state tape: " + tapeName);

tapeName = NxCore.GetTapeName()
if len(tapeName) == 0:
    print("Processing real-time tape")# Python does not include real-time tape path
else:
    print("Processing historical or state tape: " + tapeName)
