What is my filename ?

[MasterGy]

Hi ! can anyone tell me how to read out the filename of the program that is running? For example, I generate x.exe from x.bas. How does x.exe know that it is x.exe?

Put a line in your program:

RunningProg$="Bond, my name is James Bond.exe"

(just an idea)

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. PRINT COMMAND$(0)

Minor nitpick: COMMAND$(0) could potentially also have a path component, in which case you'd want to remove it.

Or maybe you're only interested in seeing if the name matches a list of options, in which case you can just take the RIGHT$ of it.

Very nice this "command$(0)"

So then file name is:
Filename$= RIGHT$(COMMAND$(0), LEN(COMMAND$(0)) - LEN(_CWD$) - 1)

@euklides @MasterGy
Or this:

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. filename$ = MID$(COMMAND$(0), _INSTRREV(COMMAND$(0), "\") + 1)

Or, if in Linux or Mac:

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. filename$ = MID$(COMMAND$(0), _INSTRREV(COMMAND$(0), "/") + 1)

Thank you Felippe, and everybody ,that's exactly what I needed!
