Title : Where is my current directory?
Author : Nicstt
Posted : 1+ years ago

Description : Ensure current directory is know, and where it should be.  

I wanted a few lines of code that would check directories were correct, regardless of if it was a final program or under development.

Simply:

1. Change the path in the conditional statement to where your B+ or B3D in file is loacted.

2. Enter your desired path to use whilst under development.

Occasionally blitz would throw an error when I presumed it was set to working directory, now I know it is (well it's not caused me any problems yet).

Code :

11.         ChangeDir cur_dir$
12. Else
13.         cur_dir$ = SystemProperty ("appdir")
14.         ChangeDir cur_dir$
15. EndIf
16.  
17. DebugLog "1: " + CurrentDir$()
