ShortName Property
Returns the short name used by programs that require the earlier 8.3 naming convention.
object.ShortName
The object is always a File or Folder object.
The following code illustrates the use of the ShortName property with a File object:
function ShowShortName(filespec) { var fso, f, s; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); f = fso.GetFile(filespec); s = "The short name for " + "" + f.Name; s += "" + "<br>"; s += "is: " + "" + f.ShortName + ""; return(s); }
Function ShowShortName(filespec)
Dim fso, f, s
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFile(filespec)
s = "The short name for " & UCase(f.Name) & "<BR>"
s = s & "is: " & f.ShortName
ShowShortName = s
End Function
