#173864 - 2007-02-12 09:58 PM Long variables value problem with Getfilesize and Getfiletime
Loren Loren Lurker Registered: 2003-07-29 Posts: 2	Getfilesize along with Getfilesize appear to have problems with having a long variable value passed to either function. When either have a variable with long length passed to them they return nothing. Same issue with kix2010.451 or kix2010.453 Sample code: break on cls $v1="u:\user\projects\Documents\RATE CHG\Commercial Lines\200509190928 CIM Bldrs Risk Addl Ded - All states except AZ, GA, NM, and SC - Eff 12-01-05\200509191041 Model Hme deductibles AZ, GA, NM, SC - EFF 12-01-05\|RE CIM Builders Risk additional deductibles (1005 project).msg" ? "get size" ? GetFileSize( $v1 ) ? len(GetFileSize( $v1 ) ) ? "get time " ? getfiletime($v1,1) ? len(getfiletime($v1,1)) Exit Results were: *********************************** get size 0 get time 0 *********************************** I’ve written a script that drills down through the directory tree and ran into this issue once the path started getting really long and was able to reproduce the issue with the sample code shown above. I’ve looked through the forum and couldn’t find anything that related to getfiletime or getfilesize having problems with long variables being passed to them. Ideas/suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have seen issues before with Excel not supporting paths longer then 218 characters, while the user could create a path of more then 220 characters. The only solution was to make the path shorter. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/zw949162(vs.80).aspx I would not be surprised that this is not really a "problem" and all is just working "as designed".

I just made some text files in some directories with file names as long as possible. This is what I get:

Code:

C:\12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901.txt

So in the root of C, I can make a path of 258 chars deep.
In a directory of the root, like C:\1, or a subdirectory, like C:\1\2, I can make a path of 259 chars deep.
As far as I know and as far as my knowledge goes, I do not succeed creating deeper paths, or I should create a mapped drive, like "P:\", referring to "\\server\share\deeper\".

Code:

net use P: \\MyComputer\C$\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\0

The files I can create here:

Code:

P:\12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901.txt

So by creating a mapped drive, I can create a path that is deeper than 258 or 259 chrs
OK, than I can create a script file that goes like this:

Code:

If NOT @LOGONMODE
	Break On
Else
	Break Off
EndIf
Dim $RC

$RC = SetOption("Explicit", "On")
$RC = SetOption("NoMacrosInStrings", "On")
$RC = SetOption("NoVarsInStrings", "On")
$RC = SetOption("WrapAtEOL", "On")

;$RC = SetConsole("Hide")

$RC = "C:\12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901.txt"
"Size = " + GetFileSize($RC) ?
"Length = " + Len(GetFileSize($RC)) ?
"Time = " + GetFileTime($RC,1) ?
"Length time = " + Len(GetFileTime($RC,1)) ?
?
$RC = "C:\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9\0\12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901.txt"
"Size = " + GetFileSize($RC) ?
"Length = " + Len(GetFileSize($RC)) ?
"Time = " + GetFileTime($RC,1) ?
"Length time = " + Len(GetFileTime($RC,1)) ?
?
"KiXtart = " + @SCRIPTEXE + " " + @kix ?

And here is the result

Code:

Size = 100
Length = 3
Time = 2007/02/15 00:44:38
Length time = 19

Size =
Length = 0
Time =
Length time = 0

KiXtart = KIX32.EXE 4.53

IMHO, path is too long.
And pipe or "|" is an invalid char to create a file or dir name.

Loren Loren Lurker Registered: 2003-07-29 Posts: 2	The pipe was an error on my part. The “U:” drive was mapped to a network share. I’ve done some more testing after reviewing the thread and have found by issuing a dir command from a command window, using the correct drive and path I received an error “The filename or Extension is too long.” I then used the dir command with the /x option to generate the short names for the path and file, which produced: U:\user\projects\DOCUME~1\RATECH~1\COMMER~1\2082F9~1\200509~1\RECIMB~1.MSG When I changed the script to: break on cls $v1="U:\user\projects\DOCUME~1\RATECH~1\COMMER~1\2082F9~1\200509~1\RECIMB~1.MSG " ? "get size" ? GetFileSize( $v1 ) ? len(GetFileSize( $v1 ) ) ? "get time " ? getfiletime($v1,1) ? len(getfiletime($v1,1)) exit I received the expected results of: get size 103936 6 get time 2005/09/19 09:43:00 19 I’ll be looking for &/or writing a UDF to convert longer paths and files to a short name.
