Dear Marc,

You can use GetEnv() as in Clipper function.

Code: Select all  Expand view

GETENV("USERPROFILE")

*------------------------*
Function GetEnv(VarString)
  Local OutBuf:=space(200),VarLen:=0

  VarLen:=GetEnv2(ALLTRIM(VarString),Outbuf,200)
  * If the value return is greater than the initial buffer we have to increase
  * it to receive the value but I limit the length to 3000
  if VarLen > 200 .and. VarLen <=3000
    Outbuf:=SPACE(VarLen)
    GetEnv2(ALLTRIM(VarString),Outbuf,Varlen)
  elseif VarLen > 3000
    MSGINFO("Can't retrieve, the value is too long")
    VarLen:=0
  endif
Return Left(OutBuf,Varlen)

DLL32 FUNCTION GetEnv2( lpName AS LPSTR, lpBuffer AS LPSTR, nSize AS DWORD) ;
               AS DWORD PASCAL FROM "GetEnvironmentVariableA" LIB "Kernel32.DLL"
