    How to find the current path?

    Hi all,

    Is there a method that will tell me the pathname of where the current process resides?

    I know there is a GetModuleFilename that will tell me the exact path and the filename of the current process, but i just want the path.

    Thanks

    Take the return string from GetModuleFilename() and chop off the filename -- what you have left is just the path.

    But if you want the current working directory, you can get that from getcwd() or win32 api GetCurrentDir().
