[Solved]Get Current Directory Not Application Dir?

| I'm writing a console app which needs to find out where it's currently running. The exe is placed on a folder (ex. C:/bin/) where it is included in PATH$ so I can execute it anywhere. The problem is RealPath(".") and CurrentDir$() always returns the program directory and not where I'm currently executing the console application. Any ideas? |

| I wanted to write you a working example - fiddled out that "appdir" is adjusted on startup ... and that there is a for-me-unknown-before command. Searching the net for this command unveiled that it is even an official one ... https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/BlitzMax/Modules/BASIC/BlitzMax_runtime#LaunchDir SuperStrict Framework Brl.StandardIO Import Brl.Retro print "app path: " + AppArgs[0] print "real path: " + CurrentDir() print "app dir: " + AppDir 'THIS is what you want - seems to be undocumented, found it by looking 'why AppArgs[0] and AppDir report what they report print "launch dir: " + LaunchDir file resides in ~/Arbeit/Programmieren/Projekte/Testcodes/apppath (no .exe ending) and is made available via $ export PATH=$PATH:/home/ronny/Arbeit/Programmieren/Projekte/Testcodes ~/Arbeit/Programmieren/Projekte $ apppath app path: apppath real path: /home/ronny/Arbeit/Programmieren/Projekte/Testcodes app dir: /home/ronny/Arbeit/Programmieren/Projekte/Testcodes launch dir: /home/ronny/Arbeit/Programmieren/Projekte bye Ron |
