Summary
Returns the 8.3-format equivalent of a Windows long file path.
Examples
the shortFilePath of myPath
if it is the shortFilePath of it then put it into myFilePath
Use the shortFilePath function to obtain the equivalent of a file path in short format for use in situations that require it.
Parameters:
The filePath is the location and name of the file or folder whose short equivalent you want. If you specify a name but not a location, Revolution assumes the file or folder is in the defaultFolder.
Value:
The shortFilePath function returns a file path.
Comments:
The shortFilePath function transforms the filePath without looking for the file, so it returns a value even if the filePath does not exist.
On Mac OS, OS X, or Unix systems, the shortFilePath simply returns the filePath without changing it.
