Abstract

The subject matter discloses a computerized apparatus for linking to an attached file from a text, the apparatus having a processor, the apparatus comprising a receiving module configured to receive an object comprising the text, wherein the object further comprises the attached file, wherein the receiver is further configured to receive a file identification associated with the attached file, wherein the receiver is further configured to determine a representation of the file in the text; a storage device for retaining the object received by the receiving module; a linking module configured to determine a link object, wherein the link object refers to the file, wherein the link object is displayable using the representation of the file; and an applying module configured to modify the object retained in the memory, wherein the applying module is configured to insert in the text the link object determined by the linking module.

Claims

1. A computerized apparatus for linking to a file from a text, the apparatus having a processor, the apparatus comprising:

a receiving module configured to receive an object comprising the text, wherein the object further comprises the file, wherein the receiving module is further configured to receive a file identification associated with the file, wherein the receiving module is further configured to determine a representation of the file in the text;

a storage device for retaining the object received by the receiving module;

a linking module configured to determine a link object, wherein the link object refers to the file, wherein the link object is displayable using the representation of the file; and

an applying module configured to modify the object retained in the storage device, wherein the applying module is configured to insert in the text the link object determined by the linking module and wherein the file is an attached file.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a displaying module configured to display the object and to display the file in an attached field according to rules.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the representation comprises a name of the file.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the representation comprises a first set of characters, wherein a file name of the file comprises a second set of characters;

and wherein the first set of characters are associated with a different set of characters than the second set of characters.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising an attaching module configured to attach the file to the object in response to a determination that the file is not attached to the object.

6. A computer-implemented method for linking a file from a text method performed by a processor, the method comprising:

receiving an object comprising the text;

receiving a file identification of the file;

receiving a pointer to the file;

linking between the file identification of the file and the pointer of the file; and

applying the linkage to the object;

wherein the being attached to the object.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the linking comprising creating a hyperlink.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein receiving, the pointer to the file being performed automatically according to the file identification.

9. The method according to claim 6, wherein the receiving the pointer to the file further comprising providing a user interface for manually choosing the file.

10. The method according to claim 6, further comprising removing attachment of the file from an attaching field of the email message.

11. The method according to claim 6 wherein the linking further comprising linking the file and attaching the file to the object.

12. The method according to claim 6, wherein the object being a email message or a document.

13. A computer program placed on a magnetic readable media for linking a file from a text, the computer program comprising:

a first program instruction for receiving an object comprising the text;

a second program instruction for receiving a file identification of the file;

a third program instruction for receiving a pointer to the file;

a forth program instruction for linking between the file identification of the file and the pointer of the file; and

a fifth program instruction for applying the linkage to the object, wherein the file being attached to the object and wherein the object being a email message or a document and wherein the first, second and third program instructions are stored on the computer readable medium.
