Current folder name?

[blitzer99]

Does anyone know how to obtain the name of the current folder in which an autoit script is being run? (both the fully qualified name and the name of the current level only: for example "c:\program files\abc corporation\myapp" in the case of the former and just "myapp" in the case of the latter).

I have looked up all the functions, macros and user add-ons but I cannot see how to obtain this information.

Hmm.... The macros to try would be

@ScriptDir

or

@WorkingDir

MsgBox(4096,"Example", "The script is running from folder " & @ScriptDir)

Edit: For just the current folder level, you could try http://www.autoitscript.com/fileman/users/Valik/path.au3 or maybe

$p = StringSplit(@ScriptDir,"\")
MsgBox(4096,"folder", $p[$p[0]] )

OR if using the latest unstable version of Autoit

$q = StringTrimLeft(@ScriptDir, StringInStr(@ScriptDir, "\", 0, -1))
MsgBox(4096,"folder", $q)

Great! Many thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.

I was looking in the AutoIt3 documentation under "Macro Reference / Directory Macros" where neither of these macros is shown. I have now found them under AutoIt related macros.
