The _STARTDIR$ function returns the path a user called a QB64 program from as a string value without a trailing path separator (see also Availabitlity below).
Syntax
- callPath$ = _STARTDIR$
Description
- Returns a STRING representing the user's program calling path.
Availability
v1.0
all
yes
yes
yes
- Since QB64-PE v4.1.0 the path is always returned with a trailing path separator, hence you don't need to add it yourself anymore. The change was implemented to be in line with _DIR$ and _FULLPATH$.
- Old code, which is adding a separator, still works as all supported platforms were tested and proved they doesn't care about multiple consecutive path separators.
Examples
Example: Showcasing QB64 path functions:
$CONSOLE:ONLY _DEST _CONSOLE SHELL "cd" PRINT _CWD$ PRINT _STARTDIR$ SYSTEM |
