Simple question (Get running location)

How can I get the drive that the script/exe is currebtly running from

(Probably stupid question)

@ScriptDir

*edit*

if you just want the drive letter, you will have to trim everything else off as that macro gives the full path

Works great, new question now though, how can I trim it to only the drive letter, I've looked at StringTrim Left/Right but that wouln't do it.

(Only a problem as the location can change, so cant use trim right.)

StringInStr, StringLeft, StringLen, StringLower, StringMid, StringRight, StringTrimLeft, StringTrimRight, StringUpper and StringSplit

You won't need all of those, but there are many ways to do what you want, find a combination that works for you

Strings are new ground for me too so I tried this...

$var = @ScriptDir 
$array = StringLeft($var, 1)
ConsoleWrite("var=" & $var & @CRLF) 
ConsoleWrite("$array=" & $array & @CRLF)

works nice and easy :
