Name

CurDir Function — Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileSystem

Synopsis

CurDir[(drive)]
drive optional; String or Char

The name of the drive

Return Value

A String containing the current path

Description

Returns the current directory of a particular drive or the default drive.

If no drive is specified or if drive is a zero-length string (“”), CurDir returns the path for the current drive.

drive can be the single-letter drive name with or without a colon (i.e., both “C” and “C:” are valid values for drive).

If drive is invalid, the function will generate an 10Exception exception.

Because CurDir can only accept a single-character string, you cannot use network drive names, share names, or UNC drive names.
