Reading directory path for input file

[hnng]

Hi All,

Is it possible to read the directory path of the input file which has been read and then store it in a variable.

This way I can use that variable, concatenate it with another string (file name) which will server as the path for my output file.

This will help me move the code from one machine to another without going through the hassle of changing all the paths for output file.

Hi,
you surely can define a "string" variable.
But, I seem to remember that there is no key of the *GET command to allow the retrieval of the current working directory.
If your APDL is used to read/write files in the jobname's directory, however, you don't need to bother about the directory itself since the file reading/writing will be by default executed there.
... Or I may have misunderstood your problem...

Hi cbrn

You got my problem right. The problem with using strings is that they are limited in length and thus i am not able to putt the full path after concatenation.

Thus I was looking for something more direct.
