Think this should have worked - doppler - 09-11-2024
At least in windows it would be nice. Since special paths exists in windows which are normally hidden as well
example:
_Title "path test"
'
' test for windows special paths
'
Open "%APPDATA%\HexChat\logs\rizon\test.txt" For Binary As #1
Line Input #1, d$
Close
Print d$
The test file only included a single line to let me know it happened. But didn't get there, failed with path not found on open. There are lot's of other important %paths% that windows has buried in the environment labels.
Suggest. Can or should we make it work ?

Change that open line to:
Code: (Select All)
OPEN _DIR$("appdata") + "HexChat\logs\rizon\test.txt" FOR BINARY AS #1See _DIR$ - QB64 Phoenix Edition Wiki for other standard OS paths.

I knew _dir$ had some work done to it, but I never had time to investigate all the nuances yet.
Thanks
