Solve : Count Filenames Containing a User-Specified Extension? |
|
Answer» That's the reason - the shortname generation doesn't follow the rules on XP and earlier (and apparantly Win 7 and 8 32 bit). foxidrive, do you sleep during the day?Drat! My Vampire secret is out! (I have insomnia and sleep when I can.) Two replies are in so far - XP 64 bit and Win7 Pro 64 bit - and both show 'standard' 32 bit behaviour. On my Windows 7 x64 as well as Windows 8 x64 systems, Ultimate and Professional respectively (doubt that matters but it might), *.txt matches a .txtx file, and dir /x SHOWS the short FILENAME as having a .txt extension. So my x64 system is the odd one? Another Win7HP 64 bit machine also shows the 'usual' behaviour. It would seem just that the behaviour can't be predicted for short filename generation.Dunno if this sheds any light...

Quote from: foxidrive on December 20, 2012, 02:23:34 PM short names can even be random hex numbers I noticed that when I WENT to 1000 of each extension. |
