Is there a way to avoid using full paths? A function I can call which will return what mIRC thinks is the working directory? Can mIRC call SetCurrentDirectory or may that break existing libraries? Code: #include <stdio.h> #include <direct.h> char cCurrentPath[FILENAME_MAX]; _getcwd(cCurrentPath, sizeof(cCurrentPath)); FILE *file; int error = _tfopen_s(&file, TEXT("encrypted"), TEXT("wb"));

What's the value of the current working directory anyway, $mircdir? Last edited by Wims; 18/03/14 06:50 AM. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel
