Add ..\ to help

Post by *kodepr »

Hi,

I know the ..\ functionality for paths from other programs, but I thought it didn't exist in TC because I didn't find it searching in Help.

May I suggest adding ..\ functionality for paths to the TC-help anywhere it applies? For example in Environment Variables.

See https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=470550#p470550 and my post above it

Well,

Code: Select all

..
is the usual and widely used syntax for one directory level up, on DOS, Windows and Linux - and probably others. The trailing backslash is appended if necessary, i.e. one wants to refer to a path at the same level as the current one. Applications don't need to add explicit support for such paths since they're handled by the OS. The only thing programmers need to keep in mind is that such paths are combined properly.
