Get File Name used while exporting Printer Code Template

Hi All,

I am trying to find if there is a way to get the file name that we mention while exporting the Printer Code Template (see below):

 

I have tried using Format.FileName to get this but this actually gets the file name of the BTW file and not the one that I am using to export. Is there another global object property/method (PCM, PCT etc.) via which I can get the file name that I need?

  Hi Deep,
  
  Welcome to the BarTender Community Forums!
  
  To our knowledge, printer code templates are not human-readable. If you want to view Printer Code, you could use a third-party software, such as this one from Labelary. However, for the .btw document name; we would recommend using History Explorer and other companion applications from the BarTender Suite.
  
  I hope this information was of use to you!

  Do you mean recording the 710020.prn name in your example above?

  In which case, if you have Automation or Enterprise, you maybe able to set up an Integration to monitor the folder for a .prn to appear and then set it to write out or email the file name of the "trigger" file. You would probably need to use the Move file option to send the prn to a new folder once it has triggered.
