METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONVERTING ASCII PATH NAME INTO ANALYSIS PATH NAME STRUCTURE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the latest program module for an OS, which gives an analysis path name structure input, run under an old OS that gives an ASCII path name input. SOLUTION: This method includes a step, which converts the prefix of an ASCII path name and a file name into a Unicode string, and next a step, which converts the Unicode string into an analysis path structure. The step defines the analysis path structure, converts the ASCII code into a Unicode string, next converts the first two character space in the Unicode string into Unicode numbers which separately shows the full length of a string and the length of a prefix and converts all the rest back slash characters in the Unicode string into a certain Unicode numeral value. The Unicode numeral value identifies the length of a name structure of a string that follows the numeral value.
