Environment Variable fetching

[bschimandle@my-deja.com]

Does anyone know how to fetch an environment
variable from Windows 2000; so that it can be
used to build a path to a file?

I have a .dll file that gets updated to a
specific directory tree, and the directory is
pointed to by an env. called %PRODUCT%

i.e.:

PRODUCT=C:\Test\Builds\1_1_1_5\

I am using the System Exec.vi in win2000 for similar purposes. Make the command line "C:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe" (without the quotes), and then pass "set\n" (line feed at the end, no quotes) as the standard input to this command. It will return the environment variables in standard output, which you can then parse.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
