Hi all-

I am writing a program that would like to determine what path and specific
directory it was run from.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

"run from" is quite imprecise.

does it mean "what is the current directory" or "what is the directory
hosting the running exec" ?

assuming:
TCHAR path [_MAX_PATH];
TCHAR drive[_MAX_DRIVE];
TCHAR drcty[_MAX_DIR];

for the first use: GetCurrentDirectory(path, _MAX_PATH);

for the later use: GetModuleFileName(instance, path, _MAX_PATH);
where 'instance' is the HINSTANCE member receveid by the main funtion.
then something like:
_splitpath(path, drive, drcty, NULL, NULL);
sprintf(path, "%s%s", drive, drcty);

I was looking for the latter. Thanks!
