FileChangeDir pb

[ddeerr]

Hi,

i don't why this doesn't work :

MsgBox(0,"",@WorkingDir)
$i = FileChangeDir("C:\Windows")
MsgBox(0,"",$i & "-" & @WorkingDir)

i'm using 3.2.1.2 version

i use an admin account on windows 2000

I tried with 3.2.0.1 compiler same pb, just with this function, any idea ?

I'm assuming "pb" means "problem" and not "lead" ...

You're setting the result of the FileChangeDir() function to the variable $i.

FileChangeDir worked as expected. It sets the @WorkingDir and then returns a "1" to tell you that it worked just fine.

FileChangeDir Changes the current working directory.

FileChangeDir ( "path" )

Parameters

path The path to make the current working directory.

Return Value

Success: Returns 1. Failure: Returns 0 if working directory not changed.

Remarks

None.

Thanks for your reply.

YEs pb = problem

FileChangeDir worked as expected.

In the documentation i just see

Success : return 1

Failure : returns 0 if working directory not changed (that what i get)

So by expected you mean @error ?

No.

Try this.

Make a file in your @scriptdir called "temp.txt" Fill it with something...write a script to change your @workingdir to C:\temp and copy the file to @workingdir.

When I run your script as provided I get my user temp as the first msgbox, and then "1-C:\windows" as the output for the second msgbox.

It works fine for me.

Noob in progress = me :">

The windows i used to test doesn't contain C:\windows directory

So now it works as always, sorry for this no problem
