CuteEditor for .NET

Building Your Own File Name Filter

Building Your Own File Name Filter

This section is for Advanced Developers. Knowledge of the Regular Expressions is a prerequisite.

CuteEditor has taken steps into file name management. A new and innovative capability is to allow advanced developers to build the File Name Filter. Once a filter has been set, only files whose names comply to the filter, will be displayed in the file dialog and will be allowed to upload to the server. The other images are "filtered out".

To setup a filter, you need to be familiar with Regular Expression. Regular Expressions are advanced forms of wildcards and allow you to set filters precisely.

 

  

 

CuteEditor defines the following file name filter by default:


^[a-zA-Z0-9\._-]+$


 But you can modify it to meet your own requirements using the following methods:

 

1: Edit security policy file:


The security policy file (default.config, admin.config and guest.config) can be found in the /CuteEditor/Configuration/Security folder. In security policy file you can find the filenamePattern element. By default, it contains the following value:


<
security name="filenamePattern">^[a-zA-Z0-9\._-]+$</security>
  

You can modify the filenamePattern element to meet your own requirements.

For example:

<security name="filenamePattern">^[a-zA-Z0-9\._-]+$</security>

 

2: Programmatically define the image name filter:


C# Example:

Editor1.Setting["security:filenamePattern"]= "^[a-zA-Z0-9\._-]+$";


VB Example:

Editor1.Setting("security:filenamePattern")= "^[a-zA-Z0-9\._-]+$"
