lfn to 8.3 names

The %%~s and %~s at the cmd prompt work most of the time.  There is a bug that makes it fail however.

for %a in (*.*) do @echo %~sa

The above is not reliable.

Assembly, batch, or script ideas are welcome.

Hi,

   From a command line "DIR /X" gives you the 8.3 file name that
windows generates.  See "DIR /?" for a better explanation.

   It works for me.  It should work for you.

Cheers,

Hi,

   Cute.  I have not seen that.  What kind of file system do you
Have?

21-04-13  11:56a        <DIR>          DOWNLO~1        Downloads

   Does the attached directory program fail identically?  Or does
it show something different?

Regards,

Steve

Looks like an 8.3 name in there.  :t

you could use a list file

Code Select Expand

list -r -y -xd -s makeit.bat \masm32\*.asm "tasm %f\n"

makeit.bat:

Code Select Expand


tasm \masm32\datetime\demo\WORLDT~1.ASM
tasm \masm32\datetime\COPYDA~1.ASM
tasm \masm32\datetime\CURREN~1.ASM
tasm \masm32\datetime\CURREN~2.ASM
tasm \masm32\datetime\CURREN~3.ASM
tasm \masm32\datetime\DateAdd.asm
...


I am trying to figure out what you have.

I would like to name my tasm 16 bit code using LFNs.

Then assemble and link them.

So I would need to convert LFN .asm files to 8.3 names to assemble and link, then delete the 8.3 file names.

in a batch, you can use %~s

for example, %1 refers to the first command line parameter
so, create a batch file, test.bat...

Code Select Expand

@echo off

set tempstr=%~s1
echo %tempstr%

then, if you type at the prompt...

Code Select Expand

C:\Documents and Settings\Dave\Desktop => test c:\0longpathaaaa\longfilename.txt
c:\0LONGP~1\LONGFI~1.TXT

%~fs is similar, used with batch FOR loops

Hi,

   Yeah.  Sorry, I assume that ANSI.SYS is loaded.  Anyway, you
seem to have have access to the 8.3 names.

The filenames with tilda's not works with prog tools under DOS - so, I'm renaming files from long to short filenames and back, using /r option of clef, and copying new versions to both sides when makes it.

Thanks.

I used Google translate but I can not find out how to download it.

The font is yellow on white.
