Get Executable Path and Name

Purpose

To get the executable name and path for the current application

How To Use

I personally usually call this call in a custom application object which gets created when the application starts up. It may, however, be called virtually anywhere either as a global function or object function.

Code

Please note that the following external function call must be defined for the function to work.

External Function Definition

Function

of_GetAppPath( ref string as_AppFilePath, ref string as_AppFileName ) returns integer

Note

Please note that if you're dealing in particularly long path and filenames you may wish to increase the value of lul_Length, which stores the maximum length of the path returned (including the filename).
