hi,
in a software developed in PB (obviously), I say this:
But I would like to find the file "000.txt" where my EXE is and not at the hard path.
What magic instruction do you suggest?
Thx

GetCurrentDirectory() will return the directory that the .exe is held in.
Code: Select all
fold$= GetCurrentDirectory()
file$= "000.txt"
Debug fold$+file$
Readfile(7,fold$+file$)
Or depending on how you are using the program, you may want to:
Code: Select all
Temp$ = ProgramParameter()
SetCurrentDirectory(GetPathPart(temp$))
