I'm programming a jpeg mover, that launches from the right-click menu when selcting a jpeg file or files.
I know how to modify the registry, so my application shows up on the right-click menu when a jpeg file/s is selected.
I need help retrieving the file name/s to use them in the code from renaming purposes and moving. Any ideas? |

The Command function will give you the command line arguements that are passed to your program. In your case these should be the file names. Check the Help files for "Command$ function". There's some decent example code that should get you up and running.
One note of caution though. I'm not sure if the filenames will get passed as long filenames (C:\Program Files\Super Mover\lunar surface.jpg) or DOS filenames (C:\Progra~1\Superm~1\lunars~1.jpg). If they get passed as DOS filenames you may have to convert them to long filenames when you move/copy them. Otherwise, if I remember correctly, the new image name will actually be lunars~1.jpg.
