Question about long directory names... please help~~~ - China DOS Union Forum

Operating environment: under WINXP and the DOS under WINXP -(not pure DOS)
Under a certain partition there are two directories with the same name, only the number at the end is different.
For example: "Pro Evolution Soccer 5" "Pro Evolution Soccer 6"
Under DOS their names show up as "proevo~1" and "proevo~2"
Using if not exist "X:\proevo~1" xcopy "N:\proevo~1 /i /e" copies “Pro Evolution Soccer 5" to X:....
If after that I also want to use this statement to copy "proevo~2" to X:, then it is:
if not exist "X:\proevo~2" xcopy "N:\proevo~2 /i /e" and it will copy “Pro Evolution Soccer 6" to X:....

I'd like to ask: without changing these two statements, under DOS how can I make it so that when I copy "Pro Evolution Soccer 6" it will automatically check whether the "proevo~1" directory exists, and if it does not, automatically rename the copied "proevo~2" under X: to "proevo~1"
but under WINXP it would still appear as the "Pro Evolution Soccer 6" directory?

Thanks~~~~~!!!!!!

Your description is hard for me to understand. Try copying 5 over first, then copy 6 over it and see.

Wouldn't it be fine to just use XCOPY directly

It is using xcopy ..under the DOS command line long filenames are not shown completely... Pro Evolution Soccer 5 shows up as proevo~1 under DOS when viewed with the DIR command Pro Evolution Soccer 6 shows up as proevo~2 under DOS when viewed with the DIR command If I write it in a batch file, how can I make it so that in the command line it shows as proevo~1, but in XP it shows as Pro Evolution Soccer 5 Not sure whether you understand what I mean~!!~
