Getting actual file name (with proper casing) on Windows

Question

Windows file system is case insensitive. How, given a file/folder name (e.g. \"somefile\"), I get the actual name of that file/folder (e.g. it should return \"SomeF

Answer 1

Okay, this is VBScript, but even so I'd suggest using the Scripting.FileSystemObject object

Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim f
Set f = fso.GetFile("C:\testfile.dat") 'actually named "testFILE.dAt"
wscript.echo f.Name

The response I get is from this snippet is

testFILE.dAt

Hope that at least points you in the right direction.
