Re: [Dev-C++] rookie question... Getting the current directory

Try getcwd():

  	  /#include/ /<unistd.h>/
	  /#include/ /<io.h> // <stdio.h> is standard but MinGW uses io.h/

	  /main()/
	  /{/
	       /char/ /*cwd;/
	       /if/ /((cwd/	/=/ /getcwd(NULL,/ /64))/ /==/ /NULL)/
	       /{/
		    /perror("pwd");/
		    /exit(2) <http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?exit+2>;/
	       /}/
	       /(void)printf("%s\n",/ /cwd);/
	       /free(cwd);/
	       /return(0);/
	  /}/

The man page is at:
http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?getcwd+3

Note that this is POSIX, Windows has their own non-portable API for 
directory and file operations.

Good luck!
