Description

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

Syntax

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 fs, f, s;
    fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    f = fs.GetFile(filespec);
    s = "The short name for " + "" + f.Name.toUpperCase( );
    s += "" + "\n";
    s += "is: " + "" + f.ShortName + "";
    window.alert(s);
}
