Hi,
I was just wondering the best way to find the current drive letter from which the script is being executed?
If will be from a usb drives in many different computers which is why i want to find out.
E.g. using driveget to find removable drive, or trimming A_ScriptFullPath down to just the first 3 characters? I know how to do this in vb6 but not ahk :(
Cheers

emmm splitpath anyone
Code:
OutDrive     Name of the variable in which to store the drive letter or server name of the file. If the file is on a local or mapped drive, the variable will be set to the drive letter followed by a colon (no backslash). If the file is on a network path (UNC), the variable will be set to the share name, e.g. \\Workstation01
