View Full Version : Printing and setting current working directory
Hi, :friends:
I am searching a function to know the current working directory of a bundled exe, :?:
and also a function to force a new value for current working directory.
Thanks for help

Hi Dany,
I usually prefer to compose the absolute paths, using APP_ScriptPath to retrieve the directory where the script lives and then work with that further.
For example, if your EXE is "c:\myprograms\mycool.exe", then APP_ScriptPath will contain "c:\myprograms\"

Hi Petr,
My long Unix / C background leads me to use a syscall/function to set a current workig directory.
There,all manipulation of files needs only to know the relative file name instead of rebuilding complete file path.
Yes, I know I'm lazy. :lazy: :lazy:

Hi Dany,
I see & understand :)
Then these will be at your service:
DIR_GetCurrent
DIR_Change
Please note you need to do uses "file" to be able to use these.

Hi great Petr,
Exactly what I was looking for.... But I was searching in "FILE_****" or "OS_***" functions. :drink:
Lot of thanks.
