Lotus Script detach files not part of an embedded attachment

Daniel Nashed – 8 June 2025 09:09:06

Usually you navigate thru embedded attachments which are part of a richtext item.
But there is also a way to detach files which are not part of an richtext item.


Here is the documentation:


https://help.hcl-software.com/dom_designer/14.0.0/basic/H_GETATTACHMENT_METHOD.html

You can navigate thru the items to find the $File items and extract all of them.


Here is an example:



Dim embedded As NotesEmbeddedObject

...

Forall x In doc.Items

      Set item = x

      If item.Name = "$FILE" Then

              Set embedded = doc.GetAttachment(item.Values(0))

              If Not embedded Is Nothing Then

                      Call embedded.ExtractFile (GitProjectDir + "\json\" + embedded.Name)

                      count = count + 1

              End If

      End If

End Forall
