If the object knew the platform, it would be easy to use the right command depending on the platform.</T></DIV> Thu, 27 Sep 2012 05:36:29 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Objects-reading-textfiles-in-PC-and-MAC/m-p/198392#M15314 Pertti Paasky 2012-09-27T05:36:29Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Objects-reading-textfiles-in-PC-and-MAC/m-p/198393#M15315 Maybe you could try ...<BR /> <BR /> n=REQUEST("Name_of_program", "", program_name)<BR /> PRINT program_name<BR /> <BR /> On Windows machines this will return "Archicad.exe"<BR /> I assume on a MAC it would be different as they do not use .EXE files.<BR /> But I don't have a Mac so I can't be sure.<BR /> Barry.
