Current windows OS versions allow long names for files & directories. Batch file operations which are based on DOS do need 8.3 format file or directory names to work with. To retrieve the short name (aka DOS name)of such files or directories use the following dir command.
C:>DIR /X
Displays the name of the file or directories in 8.3 format.
