converting short path name to long path name

#1 Post by sambasiva » 17 May 2014 11:44

Hi ,

I have run a command which outputs the java command line.
In that one of the directory name is in short path. (example: C:\instance\domains\DAC04Q~1.COM\COMMON~1)

Is there a I can get the full path from the above short path name ?


Thanks
SS

Hallo,

with Dir and ".?" at the end it prompt the full Name

Code: Select all

Dir /s/b/x C:\instance\domains\DAC04Q~1.COM\COMMON~1.?

Hi pieh-ejdsch,

Dir /s/b/x C:\instance\domains\DAC04Q~1.COM\COMMON~1.?

returns only the fullname of the last directory i.e. commondomain is the output I get when the above command is run.

is there a way I can get the full name of the complete path ?


Thanks
SS
