LFN. - Long-File-Name

MiniRobotLanguage (MRL)

LFN. Command

Long FileName

Intention

Convert a 8+1 (Short-Filename) into a Long Filename (LFN) .

If you simply write:

LFN.

then the command will try to get the source-filename (the one that should be converted) from the stack. If you add a variable like this:

LFN.§§TXT

then the command will take the the source-filename (the one that should be converted) from the given variable §§TXT and put the result on the stack.

The next step is, that you give two variables as parameters, like this:

LFN.§§TXT|§§LFN

in that case, the robot will take the source-filename (the one that should be converted) from the given variable §§TXT and put the result into §§LFN.

Syntax

LFN.[P1][|P2]

Parameter Explanation

P1 - (optional) VAR with the Short-Filename. If omitted,

source is taken from TOS.

P2 - (optional) VAR for the result. If omitted,

the result will be placed on TOS.
