Referring to %TEMP% in vbscript

[Long Nguyen]

Hi

In vbscript how can I refer to the variable %TEMP% on the PC?

Basically I want to create a new file in a directory on PC pointed to by the
%TEMP% variable. However the code below does not work:

Dim fso, tf
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FileName = "%TEMP%\myfile.txt"
Set tf = fso.CreateTextFile(FileName, True)

If I use the file name "C:\myfile.txt" it works fine.

Thanks
Long

Hi Long,

Use the following code instead :

sub test()
Dim fso, tempfile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Dim tfolder, tname, tfile
Const TemporaryFolder = 2
Set tfolder = fso.GetSpecialFolder(TemporaryFolder)
msgbox tfolder

end sub
