This is a function from Clipper Tools functions, available from the good old Clipper days.

This is available in CT.LIB for xHarbour and hbct.lib for Harbour.

This lib is automatically linked in build?..

Please note that this returns the exename with full path.

Thanks mister Rao:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

      cOrigPath  :=  "C:\DATA\ADDRESS.EXE"
      IF ExeName() <> cOrigPath
         ? "Program name or directory have been changed!"
         QUIT
      ENDIF

Harbour:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

      cOrigPath  :=  "C:\DATA\ADDRESS.EXE"
      IF HB_ProgName() <> cOrigPath
         ? "Program name or directory have been changed!"
         QUIT
      ENDIF

Regards, saludos.

We can also get exactly the same result with

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

? HB_ArgV( 0 )

and

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

? GetModuleFileName( GetInstance() )

What to use is just a matter of personal taste.
I use ExeName()

Yes,

https://vivaclipper.wordpress.com/2014/02/26/hb_argv/

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

Example:

      // If command line is :  C:\temp>test.exe p1 p2

        ? HB_ArgV()     // C:\temp\test.exe
        ? HB_ArgV( 0)   // C:\temp\test.exe
        ? HB_ArgV( 1 )  // p1
        ? HB_ArgV( 2 )  // p2
        ? HB_ArgV( 3 )  // ( Null String )
