I created a batch file that       compresses an executable file passed via parameter 1 using UPX. I'm using a       batch file so I can see the output of the compressor. Then I edited the       registry so that right-clicking        an .exe file shows two options to compress the file in two ways. I also want       to do similar tricks with other designs as well. The problem is that, whether       I use quotes or not, the parameter always returns a short filename.              BTW, is there a way to extract just a filename from a path without resorting       to using an external executable?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
