Greetings!
I'd like to ask a quite simple question. My problem now is the following. How can I determine the location of the running program/project?
I'd like to save data into a file, which shall be in the directory of the program. Any idea how to determine the current path?
Thx

Which Operating system / compiler?
You could try looking in argv[0] which is passed to main()
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
My SW is for Windows XP, I use Borland C++ Builder 5.0
Well, under Windows, the default directory for storage managment is the launch directory, so, just save there.
Well since then I found the solution and it works quite well.
My problem was that when I was calling a FileOpen function, it required the whole path to work... But I got the path acquiring function now. Thanks anyway for spending your time.
What's that FileOpen thing? I've never used such a function, I know tehre's an interface called so but it's part of the OLE Shell API and I don't think it's what you're using. However, you should use the CreateFile() function which is standard across the Windows platforms and compilers...
THat's right.
I use the functions: FileCreate(), FileOpen(), FileSeek() etc.
They are handy functions. They give you a handle (FileOpen does it), which you can use to access the specific file. I think it's the same as CreateFile() and so on.
