win32api.FindFiles Win2003, problem with Short Name
I'm having a problem retrieving the ShortName from a file that was written by a MAC and only from a Windows 2003 server. I realize the file has a space after it, but I can retrieve the short name from Windows XP and 2000; >>>print win32api.FindFiles(process_source_dir + "*") Excluding the results from "." and "..", it returns: (32, , , , 0, 44118, 2974, 0, '10^2f16 Hardcover a ', '10^2F167.5AC') - All OK!! When using the same command on Win2003, it returns: , , 0, 44118, 2974, 0, '10^2f16 Hardcover a ', '') The versions of Python / Win32 are the same on all servers. Does anyone have any ideas?

Neil, On all three types of PC/Servers they are set to 0. For now I'll have to process this script on non 2003 servers?!? Thanks, Frank -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

My initial issue was trying to rename/move files on a SAN that were written from Mac's. While the easier messed up files names were easy to convert and move, I quickly came across a few types that were not. Files with spaces at the end seemed to only be solved with the win32api.FindFiles(fullpath + '*'). The catch 22: All other commands reported the path structure but the output could not be used because Python/the system reported that it could not find the file/path specified. (Including GetShortName). Unfortunately I've been testing on an XP with all working fine, the Win2003 simply does not show anything on the SAN for FindFiles(last tuple). It DOES show shortnames for other directories like 'c:/python24/lib' Win2003 on ''c:/python24/lib' Original Name | Short Name aifc.py| anydbm.py| asynchat.py| asyncore.py| atexit.py| atexit.pyc| audiodev.py| base64.py| base64.pyc| BaseHTTPServer.py|BASEHT~1.PY Bastion.py| WinXP on SAN: Original Name | Short Name ^2aCOSBY SON PROFILE^2fNYT18|A^2ACOSB.1A7 Jimmy Carter|JIMMY_CF.86A Allende's Last Day-jpgd.|ALLENDEC.9D3 archives 1959|ARCHIVE6.330 Barbara Jordan|BARBARAF.714 Bettmann-Mine 24.6mgs|BETTMAN7.D79 Bosley Crowther 16-095.jpg|BOSLEY_F.148 Calvin Klein.jpg|CALVIN_5.0B1 Carl Erskine Bkyln Dodger.jpg|CARL_ER8.683 Win2003 on SAN: Original Name | Short Name A^2aCOSBY SON PROFILE^2fNYT18| Jimmy Carter| Allende's Last Day-jpgd.| archives 1959| Barbara Jordan| Bettmann-Mine 24.6mgs| Bosley Crowther 16-095.jpg| Calvin Klein.jpg| Carl Erskine Bkyln Dodger.jpg| Chess^2fConrad| Coco Chanel portrait 18-940.jpg| Coco Chanel1 18-940.jpg| Frank -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
