<sidebar>API Contents</sidebar> Expands a string using the built-in pathname expansion variables
Contents
Parameters
STRING Source
- The text to expand
Return value
The full expanded pathname.
Detailed description
This does not resolve a pathname, for this use File.AbsPath. What this will do is use the $(variable) syntax to expand the string using built-in variable names used in the compiler settings and other pathname fields in Flowcode.
The list of variables available in this expansion are:
Variable | Meaning |
---|---|
appdir | The Flowcode applications directory |
chip | The name of the target chip, eg 16F88 |
family | The family of the target chip, eg 16F |
platform | The platform of the target chip, eg PIC |
chippath | The full name of the target chip, eg PIC.16F.16F88 |
chipalt | The alternate-name of the target chip |
cfga | The address of the base of the config, as specified in the FCD file |
cfgb | The number of bytes of the config specified in the FCD file |
cfgen | Whether the user has selected to write config to the chip |
cfgN | Starting with cfg0, the slot values specified in the config |
target | The source or target file leafname, without an extension, eg my_project |
srcdir | The directory the my-project.fcf file is located in |
outdir | The directory output and intermediate files are sent to |
Examples
Calling in a calculation
- Declare a variable 'result' of type STRING
- Add to a calculation icon:
result = ::Expand.PathName("source")
