Target of a link file

[sebmaurice]

Hello everybody

How can I get the target of a link file (for example : "Write text.lnk" launch "C:\Windows\Notepad") ?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Function PathFile(z$) As String

Open z$ For Binary As #1
s$ = Input$(LOF(1), #1)
Close

Do While s$ <> ""
i$ = Mid$(s$, 1, InStr(s$, Chr$(0)) - 1)
If InStr(i$, ":\") Then
If InStr(1, i$, "#") = 0 Then PathFile = i$: Exit Do
End If
s$ = Mid$(s$, InStr(s$, Chr$(0)) + 1)
Loop

End Function


Private Sub Command1_Click()
'Mettre le chemin du raccourci ici :
z$ = ""
MsgBox PathFile(z$)
End Sub
