Submitted by Sergey on January 1, 2008 - 22:26

The limitations have been pulled from Windows SDK header file

This is sample code. Add error handling and adjust to your requirements as necessary.

* Maximum length of full pathname 
#define MAX_PATH   260 
* Maximum length of path component 
#define MAX_DIR    256 
* Maximum length of file name component
#define MAX_FNAME  256 
* Maximum length of extension component
#define MAX_EXT    256
