Hi. Believe it or not, I'm using Visual FoxPro to generate JavaScript
code. This code references images found on a web site. Problem. The
server must be case sensitive. In other words, if I generate [./ygl
casket offerings/metal caskets/premier
metals/pharaohfrontppt_thumb.jpg], I get file not found. I need to
generate [/YGL Casket Offerings/Metal Caskets/Premier
Metals/PharaohFrontPPT_thumb.jpg].

Is there a function or utility that will retrieve the true case
structure of a given file and it's path? The only other option is to
convert all files and folders to lowercase before publishing them in
Frontpage.

Any advice would be really appreciated...Dennis

VFP's ADIR() function can return the original case. You have to specify the
Flags parameter. See VFP help for details.

Thanks for the reply. Isn't that flags parameter in VFP8? I only have
VFP6...Dennis

Hi again. I found a FrontPage utility from JIMCO. Changes all files
and folders to lowercase. That did the trick...Dennis

May be something like this

declare Integer FindFirstFile in Win32API String Filename, String Buffer
m.bf=space(1024)
FindFirstFile("myfile.jpg",@m.bf)
m.b1=substr(bf,45)
m.b2=at(chr(0),m.b1)
m.b3=left(m.b1,m.b2-1)
?m.b3
