• Ant (4/13) Nov 12 2004 yeah, quotes didn't work. I doubt %20 but I'll try it.
• Ant (14/30) Nov 12 2004 no, %20 doesn't seem to work.
• Charles (8/38) Nov 13 2004 DOS naming works, win32's GetShortPathName is what you need.

I think not, but try quotes or replacing spaces with %20? Maybe even use the 
old DOS naming, Adirxxx~1 etc.

no, %20 doesn't seem to work.

DOS naming doesn't seem valid to me.

looks like spaces are out.

how nice:
the users home directory is "\Documents and Settings\....."
but we can't use it.

I despair...

a simple C++ func :


inline string shortPathName(const string& path ) {
char buffer[MAX_PATH+1];
GetShortPathName(path.c_str(),buffer,MAX_PATH+1);
return buffer;
}
