Question
Write Source Pathname to SHP file Attribute
Hi....I need to figure out how to write the source path name of a file to the attribute table of a SHP file. I wanto to do this to generate field hyperlinks in the SHP file.....I can expose the format attribute "fme_basename" to get the filename, but I need to write the entire path out.....can anyone point me in the right direction.....Thanks....Scott

Wow....I post the question and then the light bulb comes on......you use the format_attribute "fme_basename" to get the full path.....Scott

Hi,
Have a look at the Directory and File Pathnames reader too.
Hope this helps.

You can use a ParameterFetcher to fetch Published Parameters. So if you convert the INPUT-file on the READER to a Published Parameter you can fetch this in the workspace.
