Subject: Re: Need help with PathCreateFromUrl

This works for me:

require "Win32API"

MAX_PATH = 255
PathCreateFromUrl =
   Win32API.new("shlwapi", "PathCreateFromUrl", 'PPPL', "i")

buf = 0.chr * MAX_PATH

url = "file://localhost/c:/winzip.log"

lpLen = " " * 4  # lpLen is a pointer to a LONG

p PathCreateFromUrl.call(url, buf, lpLen, 0)
p buf
