Getting the short file name
I am working with Flex Builder 3 currently and I have just exported ASDocs for my code base. But not without a bit of frustration. In the case, anyone else is looking for the command in for a DOS-prompt to spit out a short file name format (whatever its called), the command is: “command /z”. I didn’t know this and it took me a while to find.
The context for all of this is that when you’re trying to hook your ASDoc tool to an SWC file source you need to add this line: -external-library-path=/Docume~1/NatePa~1/MyDocu~1/Projects/Allen_~2/ And all those “~1″ and “~2″ make up short file names that you need to use in Eclipse (as far as I know). Anyways, I know this post is random and just me rambling, but I figure if I help one person with this, it was worth it.
