Windows Variable

[Bertman]

With this script you can read all the Windows Variable. I was looking for this for a long time, but it is so damn easy. Maybe you like it !

; Path

$var = "%TEMP%\Bert Nieuwenampsen"

; Run a dos prompt and put output in text-file in the Temp directory

RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c echo " & $var & " >" & @TempDir & "\var.txt")

; Read text-file

$var = FileReadLine ( @TempDir & "\var.txt" )

; Show messagebox with the complete path

MsgBox ("", "Variable", $var)

; Delete text-file

FileDelete ( @TempDir & "\var.txt" )

Far as I can tell that only gets the temp folder path

try:

expandcollapse popup

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Dim $env_vars[1][2], $temp_line = "", $temp_env
$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c set", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
     $temp_line = $temp_line & $line
Wend

$temp_env = StringSplit($temp_line, @CRLF, 1)

; clean out any empty lines
For $x = $temp_env[0] To 1 Step -1
    If $temp_env[$x] = @LF Or $temp_env[$x] = @CR Or Not StringLen($temp_env[$x]) Then
        _ArrayDelete($temp_env,$x)
        $temp_env[0] = $temp_env[0] - 1
    EndIf
Next

ReDim $env_vars[$temp_env[0]][2]

For $x = 1 To $temp_env[0]
    $temp_line = StringSplit($temp_env[$x],"=")
    $env_vars[$x - 1][0] = $temp_line[1]
    $env_vars[$x - 1][1] = $temp_line[2]
Next

For $x = 0 To UBound($env_vars) - 1
    $lResult = MsgBox(1, $env_vars[$x][0], $env_vars[$x][1])
    Switch $lResult
        Case 1; ok
        Case 2; cancel
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
Next

why not just do:h

MsgBox(0,"",EnvGet("temp"))

that appears to work fine.

Nope, you can get all the Windows Variable !

Like:

ALLUSERSPROFILE

APPDATA

CommonProgramFiles

COMPUTERNAME

HOMEDRIVE

HOMEPATH

ProgramFiles

SystemDrive

SystemRoot

TEMP

TMP

USERPROFILE

windir

But yeah you can use 'EnvGet ( "appdata" )' I didn't know that one

Yes I know about EnvGet, but your post was misleading the users into that the script would return all environment variables, therefore I posted a script that would do that with out having to hardcode any particular one in.

Hi,

@gafrost: You forget to #include<Constants.au3> in your script. (I think). Without it throws an error.

But nevertheless, always nice scripts you write!

So long,

Mega

Now it works, fine!

Edit: After gafrost did.
