Quite simple really, I'd like an identifier internal to $findfile()/$finddir() which returns the entire pathname. The difference from $1- being that this would retain consecutive spaces, which $1- by it's design does not.

Before someone suggests using $findfile(...,$longfn($1)).shortfn I'll point out that this will fail on NTFS volumes with short filenames disabled.

This works for me, but I don't have any file/directory names with consecutive spaces.

I just realised I wasn't very clear in my post. I mean an identifier to use in the <command> parameter of $findfile().

Also I'll clarify when I say the full pathname I mean the full filename for $findfile() and the full dirname for $finddir().
