How to find the path of my current running application
-
vov, hamid, i tried it. it gave me the filename which iam running, like, d:\myapp\debug\myapp.exe. this will do for me. what all i want from this string is upto debug. may be i can do some parsing logic here to remove the myapp.exe. i would be pleased if you can suggest that for me. got my 5? thank you.

Yeah you can use of CString::Left for get full string of some strings of left. (one thing that it doesnt relative to your answer see my thread on the lonuge I saw a good site with nice wallpaper of milky way )

Im sorry but I dont understand what you said?

Here you go, this should do what you want.
TCHAR szBuffer[_MAX_PATH] = {'\0'};
DWORD dwLen = _MAX_PATH;GetModuleFileName(GetModuleHandle(NULL), szBuffer, dwLen);

hai friends, my problem is like this. in my program, (say for example) i will allow the user to select a file, any where in the computer. now after file selection, i have to create one file in the folder, where my program is available. i donot give any path while creation. i will simply use open(file1,write). but this file is created, in the folder, where the selected file is available. is there any api, which can fetch me the path of the current working folder, such that, i can save my folder there? thanks for your views.
Try with...
CString m_szNewFileName = "";
char FileName[MAX_PATH];
GetModuleFileName(NULL, FileName, MAX_PATH);
m_szNewFileName = FileName;
m_szNewFileName = m_szNewFileName.Left(m_szNewFileName.ReverseFind('\\'));
m_szNewFileName += "DesiredNewName.ext"CFile f (m_szNewFileName, CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite);
it worked good for me. This would create the new file in the forlder where the App.exe is. And afterwards you can delete the file with:
if (f.Open (m_szNewFileName, CFile::modeRead))
{ f.Close ();
f.Remove (m_szNewFileName);
