Can someone give me a exapmle of how the "Special_Variables" work?

I found a list of the special variables but no clue of how to use them.

Thanks

A_SCRIPTNAME The current script name, e.g. "myscript.aut".

A_SCRIPTDIR The directory that the current script resides in.

A_SCRIPTFULLPATH The full pathname of the current script, e.g. "C:\Windows\Scripts\myscript.aut".

A_WORKINGDIR The current working directory.

A_NUMBATCHLINES The current setting of the "SetBatchLines" command.

A_SEC Seconds after the minute (00-59)

A_MIN Minutes after the hour (00-59)

A_HOUR Hours after midnight (00-23)

A_MDAY Day of the month (01-31)

A_MON Month of the year (01-12)

A_YEAR The current year (4 digit format, e.g. 2000)

A_WDAY Day of the week (1-7)

They are not special variable but macros. If you read the help file you will see what they all do.

Here is a very basic example.

MsgBox(0,"OS Version", @OSVersion)
MsgBox(0,"OS Version", @ComputerName)
