Hi,
I need to retrieve the content of some files which are placed on a
network drive so in order to open them I need the full path to the
file.
Unfortunately some times the path is longer than 256 characters and in
Windows such a path is too long with the result that the file is not
found (though it is there).
Is there any way around this?
Thanks
Francesco
You have some other problem. The path limit of 256 characters is a DOS limit
not a Windows limit. You can have paths longer than 256 characters, just not in
a command prompt window. If not, how could the file have ever been created (you
said the file was actually there)?
You can also map a drive to some parent folder:
net use p: \\server\folder1\folder2\folder3\folder4
then access the files relative to this drive.
