Hi,
Does anyone know how to detect if running code is being run from within the IDE or from an exe.
I need to load a prefs file, currently using
Code: Select all
Global CurrentDirectory.s = GetPathPart(ProgramFilename())
to get the path of the app, however it works fine when run from an exe but I need to specify a different prefs file if running from the IDE. Something along the line of
Code: Select all
If RunWithinIDE
Global CurrentDirectory.s = GetCurrentDirectory()
ELSE
Global CurrentDirectory.s = GetPathPart(ProgramFilename())
EndIf
can anyone help as I have tried looking for IDE in the search and also the help file but found nothing suitable and I am sure it must of been discussed on this forum in the past but the seach is bring me 1000's of results
Thank you

Code: Select all
CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Debugger
Global CurrentDirectory.s = GetCurrentDirectory()
CompilerElse
Global CurrentDirectory.s = GetPathPart(ProgramFilename())
CompilerEndIf
or use the option to create the temp exe in sourcedirectory.

I use something similar to check for IDE, but also want to know if the exe is 'PureBasic_Compilation0x.exe'.
Code: Select all
Macro IsIDE()
FindString(GetFilePart(ProgramFilename()),"PureBasic_Compilation")
EndMacro
