Overview
The GetWorkingDirectory function retrieves the Windows default folder for a process or program (host application).
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
string = GetWorkingDirectory ( );
Parameters
(none)
Return Value
Returns a string containing the current working directory or an empty string on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.
Remarks
The Windows default folder, or current working directory, is associated with the current process. It may be the directory from which the application was launched or it can be set using the SetWorkingDirectory function. The string returned contains a disk designator or UNC share name followed by the path.
Multi-threaded scripts should not rely on the current working directory as it can be changed during the execution of one thread, which interferes with the usage of the GetWorkingDirectory function in other threads and produces potentially undesirable behavior.
The GetWorkingDirecting and GetWorkingFolder functions are exactly the same. They are provided with different name since the term folder is used throughout Legato and Windows but “working directory” is commonly used in the command prompt and in other applications.
