@scriptname long filename support
|
Greetings!
Please add a feature to be able to get the long filename of @scriptname!
It would greatly assist in writing generic code that can for example:
read an exactly the same filename ini file
write an exactly the same filename logfile
etc etc
Please!!!
Regards,
Yogi

@scriptname already returns the complete name of the script. At least in my case it does.
This script saved as abc --> z012 --> 9 twice (78 characters) works just fine.
Code:
Break on @SCRIPTNAME ?"Lenght of the scriptname is: " Len(@SCRIPTNAME) Sleep 5

@scriptname returns a dos 8.3 format filename, thus y:\oneyogibackup.kix is displayed as y:\oneyog~1.kix (kix 4.53)

I have to confirm Mart
Created a script:
C:\This is a very deep folder\This is a very long file name.kix
also
U:\This is a very deep folder\This is a very long file name.kix
The last is a network drive, like I presume is your y:
Code:
BREAK ON @SCRIPTNAME ? @KIX ? Get $SO
Code:
This is a very long file name.kix 4.53

Sorry, forgot to add the fact that I also have SP2
Windows XP SP2
Language = English (that should not be an issue, but I don't know where your problem originates)

Goodday to you all!
@scriptname works correctly - I used the wrong parameter in my editor (ultraedit) - "wkix32 %F" instead of "wkix32 %f" - which loads the shortname to kixtart.
Thank you all very much for the reponses!
Regards
Yogi
