How do I return the directory in which my program resides / has been launched?
« on: May 09, 2010, 06:29:39 am »
Have tried GetDir & GetCurrentDir, both work in the IDE, but do not outside, when launched from cairo-dock.

Been reading the RTL pages for hours and can't spot it, too early! More coffee is requred.

Cheers

Under Windows, just do:

Code: [Select]
mypath := ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0)); // mypath is String

Note that there are cases in linux where it doesn't give you the path (cant remember which)
