vbscript – Why doesnt WScript.Shell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings work with %CD%?
vbscript – Why doesnt WScript.Shell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings work with %CD%?
The variable %CD% is a CMD-builtin automatic variable, not an environment variable like %PATH% or %USERNAME%. It can only be used within CMD, e.g.
cmd /c echo %CD%
Same goes for the variables %TIME%, %DATE%, and %ERRORLEVEL%.
If you want the current working directory in VBScript you need to use the CurrentDirectory property of the WshShell object
Set sh = CreateObject(WScript.Shell)
WScript.Echo sh.CurrentDirectory
or expand the path of the directory .:
Set fso = CreateObject(Scripting.FileSystemObject)
WScript.Echo fso.GetAbsolutePathName(.)
