Dataport Exporting into User's My Document Folder

veerendra

Hi Gurus,

I have to export data into the text file using Dataport and need to store that text file into the User's My Document Folder.
Any one help me to find the path (My Documents for Different User's).
Urgent... ](*,)
Thanks

Try something like this:

txtFullPath := ENVIRON('HOMEPATH') + '\My Documents\' + 'TheFile.txt';

You can use the Windows enviroment variable USERPROFILE to find to the user's personal folder.

To get the user directory for examlple \Documents and Settings\{username}
use env. variable HOMEPATH,

to get drive letter for that dir use HOMEDIR.

to get location of My documents dir, you'd have to look into registry:
I think the key is:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\shell folders\personal

Adding My Documents after HOMEPATH is not always correct, because user may change the location of My documents folder and in different win languages My documents is also translated.

Thanks to all,
Its working Fine...
I have used
Path := ENVIRON('USERPROFILE') + '\My Documents\' + 'Textfile001.txt';

Do not forget that not everywhere is the document folder named with "My Documents"... :-) best way will be to read the folder location from registry...

see registry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal"
