getlongpathname

gets long path name

Calling Sequence

longpath = getlongpathname(shortpath)
[longpath, bOK] = getlongpathname(shortpath)

Arguments

shortpath

a character string or matrix of strings: the short path.

longpath

a character string or matrix of strings: the long path.

bOK

a boolean or a matrix of boolean: %T if path has been converted else %F.

Description

The getlongpathname primitive converts the specified path shortpath to its long form. If no long path is found, this primitive returns the specified name.

[longpath,bOK]=getlongpathname(SCI) 
[longpaths,bOKs]=getlongpathname([SCI;SCI])
