Cannot get the correct path to a file

[Xrispeters]

Hi,

I'm new to AUtoIt and I am trying to retrieve the path of a file I do get a result, but it is not correct:

result: C:\Users\userID\Desktop\Savings Backlog.xlsx

actual path: C:\Users\UserId\SE\TCO SPOC's - General\Savings Backlog.xlsx

I read in the help file that _WinAPI_ShellGetPathFromIDList always returns a path relative to the root of the namespace, but I have no idea what that implies or how I can get the path that I need.  I have used teh code below.

  $pFolder = GetFocusedItem()
  ConsoleWrite($pFolder & @CRLF)
  $sFolder = _WinAPI_ShellGetPathFromIDList ($pFolder)
  consoleWrite($sFolder & @CRLF)

Output

71798704
C:\Users\userID\Desktop\Savings Backlog.xlsx

Thanks for getting back tio me so quickly. GetFocusedItem is  from a library called AutomatingWindowsExplore.au3, I have attached the source code.

AutomatingWindowsExplorer.au3

Hi, I did find another solutions that works, it's the GetFiles function from the same library
