ShortName Property

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change]

Returns the short name used by programs that require the earlier 8.3 naming convention.

object.ShortName

The object is always a File or Folder object.

Remarks

The following code illustrates the use of the ShortName property with a File object:

function ShowShortName(filespec)
{
   var fso, f, s;
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   f = fso.GetFile(filespec);
   s = "The short name for " + "" + f.Name;
   s += "" + "<br>";
   s += "is: " + "" + f.ShortName + "";
   return(s);
}
