CurDir()

Returns the current directory of a drive

Syntax

CurDir( [<cDrive>] ) --> cDirPath

Arguments

<cDrive>

A single character, optionally followed by a colon, specifies the disk drive to query. If omitted, the current drive is queried.

Return

The function returns the current directory of the specified disk drive as a character string without leading and trailing directory separator.

Description

The function is used to determine the current directory of a disk drive. If the drive <cDrive> does not exist or the root directory is current, CurDir() returns a null string ("").

Note that CurDir() reports the current directory of the operating system for a specified drive. It does not report directories set with SET DEFAULT or SET PATH.

Use function DirChange() to change the current directory.
