Double-checked, if it is available. It is available. Just don't give up

Still I did not manage to solve the problem with research.
My need is to find a file in a specific location, so I use a search string like "/app:company_home/cm:content/cm:documents/cm:thumbnails/cmippo.jpg"
Unfortunately I do not find nothing in that folder even if the file is present.
If instead I use as the search string "/app:company_home/cm:content/cm:documents/cm:thumbnails/*" I find all the files.
how can I do to look for a file (an image for example) given its name to a particular path?
Thank you.

Hi there

I am able to find a content node using the XPATH hope this helps for you:

 stringQuery = "+PATH:\"/app:company_home/cm:Logos/cm:"+filename+".jpg\""
                    + "+TYPE:\"" + ContentModel.TYPE_CONTENT + "\"";
                    
                     storeRef = StoreRef.STORE_REF_WORKSPACE_SPACESSTORE;
                     results = getSearchService().query(storeRef, 
                    this.getSearchService().LANGUAGE_LUCENE, stringQuery);‍‍‍‍‍‍

However I have a problem, when the name of the node has spaces this function does not work. For example in the Space "Logos" in the Company Home space, I have a file called "El Periodico.jpg". If I search using this code for this node it fails…. however if the name has no spaces "EL_Periodico.jpg" it works fine… however I need the names of the content nodes to have spaces…. How can I do to use this code to find nodes which names have white spaces?

Thanks in advance

Hi

Spaces in paths need to be encoded (_x0020_).

If you need to check the path to a file etc, use the node browser.
