MrCreatoR Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi, i am not sure, but it seems that this is some kind of bug.For example, when the script is called from «C:\Temp» directory, and it's trying to change the working dir to «C:», then it will not work:FileChangeDir("C:") ConsoleWrite(@WorkingDir & @CRLF)But if we add a trailing slash (FileChangeDir("C:\")), then it's will work. But, it's also work when we specify another drive, even without the slash:FileChangeDir("D:") ConsoleWrite(@WorkingDir & @CRLF)What is the reason that it's not working with the current drive?

PsaltyDS Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Hi, i am not sure, but it seems that this is some kind of bug. For example, when the script is called from «C:\Temp» directory, and it's trying to change the working dir to «C:», then it will not work: FileChangeDir("C:") ConsoleWrite(@WorkingDir & @CRLF) But if we add a trailing slash (FileChangeDir("C:\")), then it's will work. But, it's also work when we specify another drive, even without the slash: FileChangeDir("D:") ConsoleWrite(@WorkingDir & @CRLF) What is the reason that it's not working with the current drive? (where the script is in). I think it is working. Remember that within the given shell environment, each drive letter is current at a particular directory path ("\" by default). So if you open a command line and switch to D:, then CD to a different directory, then just do C:, it will return you to C:, still at the same "pwd" you were at before.

enaiman Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I agree it is a little bit confusing ... By definition "c:\" is a folder (the root) but "c:" is not. You can see in the attached screenshot what is the behaviour of "cd " command in MS-DOS - ... surprisingly close to how "FileChangeDir" behaves So - IMO this is no bug and it is exactly the way the MS-DOS command works. There is something weird still - when I tried cd d: the prompt returned was d:\ and it reverted back to current prompt immediately ... SNMP_UDF ... for SNMPv1 and v2c so far, GetBulk and a new example script wannabe "Unbeatable" Tic-Tac-Toe Paper-Scissor-Rock ... try to beat it anyway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Robertson Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 "[driveletter]:" represents the current directory on the specified drive letter. This is functionality that has been the same for years. It's rather convenient actually. So in fact, changing to "C:" and the directory not changing is accurate. You asked it to change to the directory it already was in, so you shouldn't have seen any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
