Hi,
I am a QB user trying to adapt myself to FreeBasic.

I saw that FreeBasic uses Dir$ function instead of FILES statement to read files.
I am needing to read the current directory path when getting a file list, that in QB could be made (for instance) by capturing the first line of the FILES statement's output text.

How do I properly get the current directory path with FreeBasic?

Thank you,

you can get the path that the exe resides in with the function EXEPATH. try this proggie

Code:
? EXEPATH

Sleep

You can also get *just* the exe name by doing this:

Code:
dim exe_name as string

exe_name = dir(command$(0))

print exe_name

sleep

I dont think he wants the exe path, he wants the current path, which could be something else. If I am right, you want the Curdir $ command

good call deleter :chinese:

Thanks everybody for the fast and useful replies!
Yes Deleter, CurDir$ is exactly what I was looking for!
