kw_rock Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ok. I am writing a program for MANY other people to use, but don't want to include my source code. The program asks users for a directory location (i.e. C:\Users\Bob\Desktop\Pictures) and then asks them for another piece of data (Both of which are being saved to a variable) How can I hardcode those variables, after the person enters them once, into the program so they no longer need to put in that data? I was going to read/write from a file, but that would require me to create a file ON EVERYONE'S PC and read from it everytime. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somdcomputerguy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 You could use a function such as FileSelectFolder to get the info assigned to a variable, and as long as the program is running, and that variable isn't changed, it will be 'hardcoded'. Into memory anyway. To permanently keep the value of that variable, I believe writing/reading to/from a file is the only recourse. Although I guess it's possible to add the code to a script needed to re-write and then re-compile itself.. - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
