ShortPath Property

Description

Returns the short path used by programs that require the earlier 8.3 file naming convention.

Syntax

object.ShortPath

The object is always a File or Folder object.

Remarks

The following code illustrates the use of the ShortName property with a File object:

function ShowShortPath(filespec)
{
    var fso, f, s;
    fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    f = fso.GetFile(filespec);
    s = "The short path for " + "" + f.Name;
    s += "" + "<br>";
    s += "is: " + "" + f.ShortPath + "";
    return(s);
}
