August 28, 200619 yr Dje brought it up to me, I totally forgot about it, but WPI puts a backslash in automatically after specifying a system path, like %SYSTEMDRIVE% or %WINDIR%. Dje reminded me that Windows does not do this automatically, and that there had been a discussion on whether or not to change this.%SYSTEMDRIVE%mydir\myprogram.exewould become%SYSTEMDRIVE%\mydir\myprogram.exeYou would have to go in and add the trailing backslash manually either in WPI or with a text editor (would be much faster).Do you think it is worth changing? The more I look at it, I prefer putting the first \ in myself.
August 28, 200619 yr My thought is.. follow Windows standards as much as possible. Those who know how to use those system-variables.. know how it works in the Windows commandshell. So without the backslash makes most sense.Roland
August 28, 200619 yr I too prefer to add the \ myself. It has always annoyed me that they were added because I am use to adding it myself.
August 30, 200619 yr I think the variables should match what windows outputs. Easier and read and configure. It don't look right seeing %SYSTEMDRIVE%System32I much prefer %SYSTEMDRIVE%\System32
