Well.
Task: get short file names (MS-DOS) from long names (windows);
Right?
But: are u sure what for compleating this task you need PureBasic? May be you do it with cmd.exe or WSH?
And also i dont understand - what target of this operation?

may be you press WIN+R, type CMD.EXE and type there

Code: Select all

DIR /?

or, if you dont want to read help, you may type

Code: Select all

DIR c:\docume~1 /S /X

.
I think, what it give you some happy seconds )

well, i think firefox rules!

its just IE doesnt handle other languages very well sometimes..... (especially not when typing in Kirilica/Cyrillic)

with firefox, when u type in Cyrillic, it converts it to special html codes.....

> Do not work

Yes it does. Are you using the full version of PureBasic, or the demo? Try this:

Code: Select all

path$=Space(999) : r=SearchTreeForFile_("c:\","iexplore.exe",path$)

If r=0
  MessageRequester("Error","File not found...",0)
Else
  MessageRequester("Location",GetPathPart(path$),0)
EndIf
