There is a simpler way of doing it. Just create a file ShortFileName.bat (or whatever name you want as long as it has the extension “BAT”) as follows: DIR /B > FileName.dat Use whatever name you want for the output instead of FileName.dat Run the command file ShortFileName.bat from RBASE… LAUNCH ShortFileName.bat …and the selected output file will have the short file names only…and that’s all there is to it.
