Name of WBT-script or exe to return

[hubbel]

Hi there,

I want to create a Winbatch program which uses its own .ini file. The name of the .ini should be dervived from the name of the .wbt or .exe file dynamically.

So I need a way to find out the name of the currently running wbt-script or -execuatable (in other words: the program should return it's own name)

DirScript will return the path where the programm is currently running, but it does not return the name of the wbt/exe.

I thought that WinName would do the job, but it returns only "WBT" when running as a script and returns "WBT - ExecutableName" when running the compiled exe.

My program should be used as a command-line utility, so there shouldn't be any active windows which prevents the usage of WinName at all.

I checked out the help file but didn't find a command which comes close to what I need.

Anyone has a hint for me?

Regards

Have you tried IntControl (1004, 0, 0, 0, 0)?

From the help file:

Code Select Expand


Returns the full path and file name of the current WinBatch program.


You could use it along with FileRoot() to get just the script name, minus the path.
