how can do this?
i have try with clipboard_get_string at start for give path variable
and save game ,
but not is good becouse:
1 the function not go
2 not is professional 

ok i have environment_get_variable, in linux this can be used?
and i can set a enviroment variable at start of game?

i try with open ini to save variable of dir , but not go 

[polygone]

Try working_directory + "\file"

[gra]

mm i have draw text on working_directory variable, but this variable is static , save the path of game, but only the path of folder game compiled, if i move file of game , the working path not modify, not good

1. Where are you from gra? Your grammar seems very peculiar.
2. Some time ago paths were hardcoded to the compile dir. So it ended up being static. Currently this should be fixed and compiled games should show working directory.

i'm italian sorry, my english stopped ten years ago, to school

anyway working_directory have another problem under linux becouse,
in linux is /file/path/
working directory write \file\path
but the real problem is how store in variable the actual position of game folder?
i have see get_working_directory but not go

environment_get_variable can be used ??
if yes in linux this not go

Code Select Expand

environment_get_variable("0")
my brother say that 0 release the path if game executable in linux enviroment variables

[gra]

great news i have solved with c++

getenv("HOME")

wuuuwuuu lets go with external resource

in a script that execute a bash script i have found this

cd ${0%/*}

this load in a folder of script , i have write

getenv("{0%/*}")

but not go ,any idea (for load in a folder of program)?

[Ideka]

This will work. Maybe.

Code Select Expand

dir = parameter_string(0);
dir = string_copy(dir, 1, string_find(dir, "/"));

[gra]

not work , string_find not is know by enigma
EDIT
good i have find

Code Select Expand

getenv("PWD")
this give a directory of executed bash script, for this fact:
GOOD
-this environment variable give full path of folders in linux
NOT GOOD
-this can't be view directly by enigma becouse the environment variable give a folder of enigma, for view, place the file of game in folder and execute
EDIT2
under windows the variable is CD,but i don'know why the program not start , wine problem or other
i try under windows if i switch 

Code Select Expand

getenv("CD")
for the explanation
linux
PWD print working directory
windows
CD current directory

[polygone]

Hmm, maybe we should write a function in enigma to help with this.

Code Select Expand

file_in_game_directory(string filename)

It's not something I can write just myself through as I can't test cross-platform.

good idea, but the path is different in two system, for example

Code Select Expand

working_directory
have only the windows path (\with\this\bars) and is static in relation to compiled file 
The windows CD environment variable not go, anyway 
EDIT
linux path have different bar /
