@TempDir

[iceberg]

hi,

not sure if i shd be asking this questions in this forums...apologies.

I can use @TempDir to determine the current's users temp folder.

but how can i do this in vbs....there dont seem to be a easy way out for this.

thanks alot.

The number 1 Google return for vbs was "Vacation Bible School." So, if I were you, I'd ask a nun or something.

(You realize this is an autoit forum, right?)

Try using the system environment variable %Temp%.

Dim fso, tempfile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Function CreateTempFile 
   Dim tfolder, tname, tfile
   Const TemporaryFolder = 2
   Set tfolder = fso.GetSpecialFolder(TemporaryFolder)
   tname = fso.GetTempName   
   Set tfile = tfolder.CreateTextFile(tname)
   Set CreateTempFile = tfile
End Function

Set tempfile = CreateTempFile
tempfile.WriteLine "Hello World"
tempfile.Close

TemporaryFolder is a VBS Constant similar to @TempDir, but you need to use .GetSpecialFolder() with the constant.
