CurDir Function

Returns a variant string that represents the current path .

warning

Some DOS-specific file and directory functions are no longer provided in Collabora Office, or their function is only limited. For example, support for the ChDir, ChDrive and CurDir functions is not provided. Some DOS-specific properties are no longer used in functions that expect file properties as parameters (for example, to differentiate from concealed files and system files). This ensures the greatest possible level of platform independence for Collabora Office. Therefore this feature is subject to removal in a future release.


note

The ScriptForge library in Collabora Office 7.1 introduces the FileSystem service with methods to handle files and folders in user scripts.


Syntax:


CurDir [(Text As String)]

Return value:

String

Parameters:

Text: Any string expression that specifies an existing drive, for example "C" for the first partition of the first hard drive. This parameter is used solely under Windows.

If no drive is specified or if the drive is a zero-length string (""), CurDir returns the path for the current drive. Collabora Office Basic reports an error if the syntax of the drive description is incorrect or if the drive does not exist.

This function is not case-sensitive.

Error codes:

5 Invalid procedure call

68 Device not available

7 Not enough memory

51 Internal error

Example:


  Sub ExampleCurDir
      Dim sDir1 As String, sDir2 As String
      sDir1 = "C:\Test"
      sDir2 = "D:\Private"
      ChDir( sDir1 )
      MsgBox CurDir
      ChDir( sDir2 )
      MsgBox CurDir
  End Sub
