Objects reading textfiles in PC and MAC

Pertti Paasky · ‎2012-09-27

Hello
Is there any gdl-command for an object to distinquish between platforms?
My object should find a textfile but the path comands are different for PC and MAC. If the object knew the platform, it would be easy to use the right command depending on the platform.

Maybe you could try ...

n=REQUEST("Name_of_program", "", program_name)
PRINT program_name

On Windows machines this will return "Archicad.exe"
I assume on a MAC it would be different as they do not use .EXE files.
But I don't have a Mac so I can't be sure.

Thank You, Barry
Mac shows "Archicad.app" and PC "Archicad.exe"
I think this solved my problem.
