Get full path and long file name from short file name

Question

I have an nice console file manager (eXtreme by Senh Liu), it passes short path/filenames as variables to a menu.bat.

How can I generate a full folder name + long fi

Answer 1

And one attempt with WMIC and Win32_Directory.Probably is slower than using cd and dir , but the current directory is not changed:

@echo off
:get_full_name [%1 - short path to a file or directory ; %2 - if set stores the result in variable with that name]
setlocal 
if not exist "%~1" ( echo file/dir does not exist & exit /b 2 )
for /f "delims=" %%n  in ('dir /b /n "%~dps1\*%~snx1"') do set "name=%%n"

set "short_path=%~dps1"
set "short_path=%short_path:~0,-1%"
set "drive=%short_path:~0,2%"

set "full_name="

:repeat
set "short_path=%short_path:\=\\%"
set "short_path=%short_path:'=\'%"

FOR /F "usebackq skip=2 delims=" %%P in (`WMIC path win32_directory where name^='%short_path%'  get Path^,FileName /Format:Textvaluelist.xsl`) do  for /f "delims=" %%C in ("%%P") do (
    set "_%%C"
)
set "_Path=%_Path:~0,-1%"

set full_name=%_FileName%\%full_name%
if "%_Path%" NEQ "" (
    set "short_path=%drive%%_Path%"
    goto :repeat
) else (
    set full_name=%drive%\%_FileName%\%full_name%
)
echo %full_name%%name%
endlocal  if "%~2" NEQ ""  set "%~2=%full_path%%name%"

Not heavy tested yet....
