GetTempFileFolder Function

Overview

The GetTempFileFolder retrieves the location of the temporary files area for the current user.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = GetTempFileFolder ( );

Parameters

(none)

 

Return Value

Returns a string containing the user’s temporary folder path or an empty string on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.

Remarks

The “temp” folder is specified as an environment variable in Windows and is usually associated with the current user’s temporary file area. The location of the user’s desktop folder depends upon the version of Windows under which the GetTempFileFolder function is being called and whether the user is running under a roaming profile. The string will always be returned with a trailing backslash to allow the simple addition of file or further path information.

It is up to the script to delete temporary files and folders when operations have been completed.
