Hi,

You have "DocumentPath( )" function.

Look environmental functions in the help file (F1)

Thanks for the quick reply!

%windir% was just an example! I want to access to user-defined variable.

I use QV 8.5 and there is not above "environmental functions" in the Help

So you can try "system functions" or simply "DocumentPath", "QVUser", "OSUser"...

OK - so, I think there is NO chance to access to user-defined Windows - envroment variables by a QV - Skript!

What a pity!

In the script you can, using GetRegistryString(), e.g.

let UserEnvVar = GetRegistryString('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment\','SOMEPATH');

assignes the value of the user environment variable named SOMEPATH to the QV-Script variable UserEnvVar.
