"GetEnv and SetEnv functions", by thechange

Use the GetEnv() and SetEnv() functions to access and modify the Windows environment variables such as the path specification for console applications.

Code

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------;
; Syntax:

value$ = GetEnv$( variable$ )

SetEnv$( variable$ , value$ )

; Clarification:

; Incorporated from the MS-DOS days, existing in the Windows environment, a set
; of variables, with their modifiable (string) values. During system startup,
; the original variables with their values are set. When a program is executed,
; whether a Windows or console application, the original set is copied to this
; session where they can be modified.

; During the runtime of a Blitz application, you are able to read from and write
; to these replicated environment variables using the GetEnv() and SetEnv()
; functions, respectively.

; Example:

SetEnv( "PATH" , GetEnv( "PATH" ) + ";D:\PATH" )

; This is one of the most useful examples of the commands, where you can add a
; custom path to the default path specification for console applications.

; Have fun :D
