$longfn(path) returns long pathname\filename version of a short filename.
Contents
Synopsis
$longfn( < path | filename | path\filename > )Parameters
* Path = The absolute/relative directory/path and/or filename that you want to ensure is a long filename.
NOTE:
- Looks for target the same way $isfile does: If relative path or no-path is provided, it assumes the location is relative to $mircdir
- In order to return the long version of the path, the path MUST exist.
- $longfn alters upper/lower case of individual folders and the filename only when the token needs to be changed
- To ensure foldernames+filename are all the correct case-sensitive spellings, must use $longfn($shortfn(target))
Properties
None
Examples
//echo -a $shortfn($mircdir) -> $longfn($shortfn($mircdir))It returns the long path version of the specified directory. “**C:\Users\westor\Documents\mIRC**“
Assuming folder C:\PROGRA~1\ is the short alias of C:\Program Files\ and these filenames exist:
C:\Program Files\7-Zip\readme.txt
C:\Program Files\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe
//echo -a $longfn( C:\Progra~1\7-ZIP\README.txt )
returns: C:\Program Files\7-Zip\readme.txt
The case of '7-ZIP' and 'README' were fixed because they were the case-insensitive equivalents of their values within $shortfn
//echo -a $longfn( C:\ProgRam fiLes\7-ZIP\UnInStall.eXe )
returns: C:\ProgRam fiLes\7-Zip\UnInStall.eXe
The case of 'program files' and 'uninstall.exe' were not changed because they were already the case-insensitive equivalents of the long filename
To ensure the entire path\filename has the correct case-sensitive spelling, use the $lonfn of the $shortfn of the target:
//echo -a $Longfn($shortfn( C:\ProgRam fiLes\7-zIP\UnInStall.eXe ))
Returns: C:\Program Files\7-Zip\Uninstall.exeCompatibility
