−
'''* Path''' = ''The absolute/relative directory/path and/or filename that you want to ensure is a long filename.''
+
'''* Path''' = ''The direction/path that you want to check for.''
−
 
 
−
'''NOTE:'''
 
−
* Looks for target the same way $isfile does: If relative path or no-path is provided, it assumes the location is relative to $mircdir
 
−
* In order to return the long version of the path, the path MUST exist.
 
−
* $longfn alters upper/lower case of individual folders and the filename only when the token needs to be changed
 
−
* To ensure foldernames+filename are all the correct case-sensitive spellings, must use $longfn($shortfn(target))

It returns the long path version of the specified directory. "'''C:\Users\westor\Documents\mIRC\'''"  
+
It will return for example the "'''C:\Users\westor\Documents\mIRC\'''" long path version of the specified direction.

Assuming folder C:\PROGRA~1\ is the short alias of C:\Program Files\ and these filenames exist:
 
−
C:\Program Files\7-Zip\readme.txt
 
−
C:\Program Files\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe
 
  
−
//echo -a $longfn( C:\Progra~1\7-ZIP\README.txt )
+
<source lang="mIRC">//echo -a $longfn(C:\Users\westor\DOCUME~1\mIRC\)</source>
−
returns: C:\Program Files\7-Zip\readme.txt
 
−
The case of '7-ZIP' and 'README' were fixed because they were the case-insensitive equivalents of their values within $shortfn
 
  
−
//echo -a $longfn( C:\ProgRam fiLes\7-ZIP\UnInStall.eXe )
+
It will return "'''C:\Users\westor\Documents\mIRC\'''" long path version of the short version one that you have specified.
−
returns: C:\ProgRam fiLes\7-Zip\UnInStall.eXe
 
−
The case of 'program files' and 'uninstall.exe' were not changed because they were already the case-insensitive equivalents of the long filename
 
  
−
To ensure the entire path\filename has the correct case-sensitive spelling, use the $lonfn of the $shortfn of the target:
+
'''NOTE:''' In order to return the long version of the path, the path MUST be exists.
−
//echo -a $Longfn($shortfn( C:\ProgRam fiLes\7-zIP\UnInStall.eXe ))
 
−
Returns: C:\Program Files\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe
