are you the same person here? there is no need to code in C for such a task. you can do it with batch (but its a hassle). easier way ->> use a better tool or programming language, eg vbscript or Python (or Perl etc) and i have shown how to do it in vbscript in the link above

I'm wondering what a DOS file name is. Is that the trashed version of an LFN that you get in DOS?
Like good 'ol c:\progra~1
or what?
===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

The XP Pro OS has cmd.exe ( command interpreter ). A Dos File name is not correct. The file names are part of XP and the command page opened with cmd.exe. The commands and file names resemble the old Dos files.
There are generic file programs that can find the length of a file name regardless of the OS or command interpreter. Thanks for your help
