Environment Variables

Zenerdiode · May 22, 2008

In the desktop build, I'm trying to use the likes of %USERPROFILE% and its not working. I know with those environment variables you can find out the username (as in user-id), but there's a persons full name that I'd prefer to grab if anyone can help. Is it a registry call?

The door library comes to the rescue:
obj is an Object.

B4X:

Sub App_Start
    Form1.Show
    obj.New1(false)
    obj.CreateNew("System.Environment")
    fullPath = GetPath("%USERPROFILE%")
    Msgbox(fullPath)
End Sub

Sub GetPath (env)
    Return obj.RunMethod2("ExpandEnvironmentVariables",env,"System.String")
End Sub
