how to retrieve the script path ?

[orducom1]

Hi folks,

I wish retrieve the path of my file.livecode in a global variable with a function.
When I worked with vbscript, I had a property of wscript object which allowed to retrieve the path of the script, like this :

Code: Select all

Path = Left(WScript.ScriptFullName, InStr(WScript.ScriptFullName, WScript.ScriptName)-1)

Is it exists something like this in Livecode?

Thx by advance for your feedback

Here it is:

Code: Select all

 
   set itemDel to "/" 
   set the defaultfolder to item 1 to -2 of (the effective fileName of this stack)

Oh! And welcome to the forum!
Make sure you read up on what the defaultFolder is.
