Answer 1

m_szFilePath.MakeLower();
CFileFind finder;
DWORD buffSize = MAX_PATH;
char longPath[MAX_PATH];
DWORD result = GetLongPathName(m_szFilePath, longPath, MAX_PATH );

if( result == 0)
{
    m_bExists = FALSE;
    return;
}
m_szFilePath = CString(longPath);
m_szFilePath.Replace("/","\\");
m_szFilePath.Trim();
//check if it does not ends in \ => remove it
int length = m_szFilePath.GetLength();
if( length > 0 && m_szFilePath[length - 1] == '\\' )
{
    m_szFilePath.Truncate( length - 1 );
}
BOOL bWorking = finder.FindFile(this->m_szFilePath);
if(bWorking){
    bWorking = finder.FindNextFile();
    finder.GetCreationTime(this->m_CreationTime);
    m_szFilePath = finder.GetFilePath();
    m_szFileName = finder.GetFileName();

    this->m_szFileExtension = this->GetExtension( m_szFileName );

    m_szFileTitle = finder.GetFileTitle();
    m_szFileURL = finder.GetFileURL();
    finder.GetLastAccessTime(this->m_LastAccesTime);
    finder.GetLastWriteTime(this->m_LastWriteTime);
    m_ulFileSize = static_cast(finder.GetLength());
    m_szRootDirectory = finder.GetRoot();
    m_bIsArchive = finder.IsArchived();
    m_bIsCompressed = finder.IsCompressed();
    m_bIsDirectory = finder.IsDirectory();
    m_bIsHidden = finder.IsHidden();
    m_bIsNormal = finder.IsNormal();
    m_bIsReadOnly = finder.IsReadOnly();
    m_bIsSystem = finder.IsSystem();
    m_bIsTemporary = finder.IsTemporary();
    m_bExists = TRUE;
    finder.Close();
}else{
    m_bExists = FALSE;
}

The variable m_szFileName contains the fileName.
