Re: [Dev-C++] rookie question... Getting the current directory

[<or...@vp...>]

Hello!

> Windows uses GetCurrentDirectory()
Well, you have to be careful with this function, because it not always gives the 
directory, where the program executable is! Whenever you press enter (or 
double-click) on a file, which is associated to your program, then the current 
directory will be the dir, where the associated file is, NOT the dir of your 
exe! This can be annoying, when you want to write config-files. To retrieve your 
programs path, use __argv[0]. This contains the path to your program (for 
example: "C:\myprog\myprog.exe"). The other __argv[] elements contain the 
command-line arguments.

Hope that helps.
