You can also create .vbs file that does this. Something like:
set FSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
IF FSO.FileExists(Filename) Then
set fileobject=FSO.GetFile(FileName)
End If
IF FSO.FolderExists(Filename) Then
set fileobject=FSO.GetFolder(FileName)
End If
shortname = fileobject.ShortPath
Of course, the MiscPlugin is simpler from a powerpro script.
