Get Current Directory Method

The Get Current Directory method returns the default directory of a drive. If you specify a null ("") drive argument, or if you do not include the drive argument, then it returns the path for the default drive.

The drive that this method examines must exist and it must be in the range that the LASTDRIVE statement in the config.sys file specifies.

You can use a colon as part of the name of the drive but it is not required.

To change the current drive, you use the Change Drive method. To change the current directory, you use the Change Directory method.

Format

CurDir[$][(drive)]

For information about the dollar sign, see Usage of the Dollar Sign.

The following table describes the arguments that you can use with this method.

Example

Sub Button_Click
   Dim newdir as String
   newdir = "c:\Windows"
   If CurDir  <>  newdir then
      ChDir newdir
   End If
End Sub
