A string containing the name of a file. Must be in all lowercase. Do not enter any device or directory information.
Standard Library function that returns the file path to use to open a file, when given a file name within the PV-WAVE distribution.
A string containing the name of a file. Must be in all lowercase. Do not enter any device or directory information.
The fully qualified file path for filename.
The name of the subdirectory in the PV-WAVE distribution area in which filename is located.Terminal
The file name of the user's terminal.Tmp
The path to the default location for temporary files for the current operating system (filename is a temporary or "scratch" file).
FILEPATH does not check for the existence of filename, but rather only contracts a fully qualified pathname. It does account for operating system dependencies.
This routine is useful when you are writing a procedure that will be used on different platforms that support PV-WAVE and will open files in the PV-WAVE distribution.
