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

My solution:

set shortname=P:\MYPROG~1\SHELLS\ZBACKUP\REFSTO~1.BAL
for /F %f in ('dir /b /s %shortname%') do where /R %~dpf %~nf%~xf

if you use it in a batch file:

for /F %%f in ('dir /b /s %shortname%') do where /R %%~dpf %%~nf%%~xf
