Hello,

I´m searching for a funktion, which i can find out the current path of the file.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

@ScriptFullPath
eg. "C:\Temp\test.txt"

@ScriptDir
eg. "C:\Temp\"

this should be in the suport forum btw

the path should be variable.

example:

a user save the files on his desktop.

The script should copy the file from the current path (which must be variable) to

an fix path (c:\temp)

and another user could nsave the file in c:

then the script must copy the file from c: to c:\temp.

What file? The AutoIt script, a file you select from the script, or something else? Might wanna have a poke in the help file at the File* functions under Function Reference->File, Directory and Disk Management to see if anything there gives you inspiration and post whatever script you have so far.

[Guest blackhawk]

yes a file that i select from the script.

Take a look at FileOpenDialog - does this help?

[Guest blackhawk]

where can i find this ?

[Chris_1013]

Open the help file... read some stuff... try some things out... then come here when you have problems...

we need a way to make people read the whole help file before coming here (jk)

use this

$file = FileOpenDialog ( "title", "default dir", "filter (*.*)" )
FileCopy ( $file, "C:\temp" )

ta-da!

EDIT: let me correct myself

we need a way to FORCE people to read the whole help file before coming here

Try this one.

$file = FileOpenDialog ( "title", "default dir", "filter (*.*)" )
;FileCopy ( $file, "C:\temp" )
$Folder = _GetFolder($file)
MsgBox(64, "Test", "The folder of the selected file:" & @CRLF & $Folder)

Func _GetFolder($gFile)
   Local $Match
   $Match = StringInStr($gFile, "\", 0, -1)
   Return StringLeft($gFile, $Match - 1)
EndFunc

BTW, you can select a folder y'know using a function: FileSelectFolder()
