FOR Command Does Not Support Long Filenames in Windows 95

RESOLUTION

Use the "LFNFOR ON" command before you execute a FOR command in a batch file.

For example, the following batch file displays all LFNs on the screen:

   @echo off
   lfnfor on
   for %%I in (*.*) do echo %%I
				

In this example, the "LFNFOR ON" command causes LFNs to be displayed correctly. A file named "New Text Document.txt" is displayed with its full name. Without the "LFNFOR ON" command, the file would be displayed with its 8.3 filename of "Newtex~1.txt."
