Mathias and Irne Thanks for your responses. The home folder concept is useful for setting a current working directory (linux).
Although my purpose was little different. I found that help in Andrew Pitonyak's quick reference. OO Basic supports an API getPathSeparator() which returns "/" or "\" depending upon what OS is used. So, my purpose has been temporarily solved. so to construct a path I am writing sFilePath = sRootDir & getPathSeparator() & leakage_win.exe I was looking for built in or user written APIs for something like sFilePath = fileJoin(sRootDir leakage_win.exe) There are other path related functions which are required quite often. Please follow the link below http://wiki.tcl.tk/1041 Thanks, Madhur On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 1:36 PM, Irné Barnard <[email protected]>wrote: > As Mathais explained you need to use the home folder location.
