Hi all,

is it possible to find out the Windows short name of a valid Windows path and/or vise versa? We are using Boost 1.42 at the moment.

best regards Arno

Given that short file names are thankfully almost a thing of the past, I can't see any reason for boost to provide direct support for these. I doubt that it currently does. But, you can always retrieve the long file name and call the Windows API function GetShortPathName to retrieve it. Brief history: Short file names are the old DOS style 8.3 character file/directory names. -- Bill
