CurDir Function (String)

X#
Return the current Windows directory.

Namespace:  XSharp.Core
Assembly:  XSharp.Core (in XSharp.Core.dll) Version: 2.21
Syntax
Copy
 FUNCTION CurDir(
	cDrive AS STRING
) AS STRING
Request Example View Source

Parameters

cDrive
Type: String
The letter of the disk drive to query.
SetDefault() is ignored; the Windows default is used unless you specify a drive.

Return Value

Type: String
The current directory of the drive specified by cDrive, without either leading or trailing backslash (\) characters.
If an error occurs, or the current directory of the specified drive is the root directory, CurDir() returns a NULL_STRING. Please note that another Windows task might change the current directory of a non-default drive, thereby affecting the return value of CurDir() when it is used to query non-default drives.
Remarks
Examples
These examples illustrate various CurDir() results:
X#
Copy
1? CurDir("e:")        // NULL_STRING, root directory
2? CurDir("c")            // vo\source
3? CurDir("c:")            // vo\source
4? CurDir()            // NULL_STRING, root directory
5? CurDir("a")            // NULL_STRING, drive not ready
This example changes the current Windows directory to a new value if it does not match a specified directory:
X#
Copy
1IF CurDir("c:") != "vo\source"
2    DirChange("\vo\source")
3ENDIF
