Get the Path location of the application

[Centauri Soldier]

Use my GlobalPaths plugin. The global variable which stores that value is _ExeFolder.

colc im thinking about replacing my main exe while it is open it is posible?
im in my mind is example if my application is running an performing a download of the updated exe, now when its done i will extract the downloaded file and update the exe by replacing it from the downloaded one.. is it possible? restart the app then replace then reopen by code?

Hi colc, i tried this and it works also
path = _SourceFolder.."\".._SourceFilename;

[colc]

here's a demo
sfx.zip

[colc]

maybe this -

--[[the SFXSOURCE argument is always the last table item so you can access it with Table.Count
heres what i use
--Place in Globals
--the SFXSOURCE argument is always the last table item so you can access it with Table.Count]]
function EXESourceFolder()
if _CommandLineArgs[Table.Count(_CommandLineArgs)] then
if String.Left(_CommandLineArgs[Table.Count(_CommandLineArgs)], 3) == "SFX" then
local strPath = String.Replace(_CommandLineArgs[Table.Count(_CommandLineArgs)], "SFXSOURCE:", "", true)
strPath = String.SplitPath(strPath)
return strPath.Drive..strPath.Folder
end
end
end

-- usage
Source=EXESourceFolder()
if Source == "" then
Source=_SourceFolder
end

Cheers
