The methods you need are under BRApi.Filesystem:
- BRApi.FileSystem.GetFile
BRApi.FileSystem.InsertOrUpdateFile - BRApi.FileSystem.GetFileShareFolder
Here's a mock example that just copies a file from a user's document folder and changes the name. You'll need to swap the sourceFile/sourceDir pieces with FileShare pieces from BRApi.FileSystem.GetFileShareFolder according to your needs.
'Source file
Dim sourceFile As String = "SomeCSV.csv"
Dim sourceDir As String = $"Documents/Users/{StringHelper.RemoveInvalidNameCharacters(si.UserName,False,False)}"
'Target File
Dim targetFile As String = "CopiedFile.csv"
Dim targetDir As String = sourceDir
'Get the file
Dim sourceXFFileEx As New XFFileEx
sourceXFFileEx = BRApi.FileSystem.GetFile(si, FileSystemLocation.ApplicationDatabase, sourceDir & "/" & sourceFile,True,True)
'Save the file
Dim targetFileDataInfo As New XFFileInfo(FileSystemLocation.ApplicationDatabase, targetFile, targetDir)
Dim targetFileData As New XFFile(targetFileDataInfo, String.Empty, sourceXFFileEx.XFFile.ContentFileBytes)
BRApi.FileSystem.InsertOrUpdateFile(si, targetFileData)
Thank you. With minor corrections this worked. For the record (and future reference to whoever will search for it), FileShare root is located at
sourceXFFileEx = BRApi.FileSystem.GetFile(si, FileSystemLocation.FileShare, sourceDir & "/" & sourceFile,True,True)Thank you for the solution!
