BeSplit path length problem

jagdriver · 23rd May 2007, 23:27

Consider the following:

D:\Utilities\BeSplit\BESPLIT.EXE -core( -input "D:\Music\N-R\Frank Zappa\Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar\S_- 00.wav" -prefix "D:\Music\N-R\Frank Zappa\Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar\N" -type wav -r ) -split( 0 156 170 338 360 335 282 473 )

BeSplit can't handle the long input path and freaks out. But when I shorten "Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar" to "Shut Up 'N Play," BeSplit works fine. I'm not wanting to move the entire N-R\ folder structure up a level, thereby eliminating six characters comprising the Music\ parent folder, nor am I keen on renaming eacha nd every long path...this is supposed to be *automated*. What's the solution?

My workaround is to copy BeSplit to the working directory (e.g., D:\Music\N-R\Frank Zappa\Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar), do the processing, then delete the BeSplit copy. Not elegant, but it solves the problem.
