CurrentValue["NotebookFullFileName"] if you are executing the .m file as an open file in the FrontEnd. However, if you are using Get, for example, on the file from a notebook, then you certainly will be using the path to the file as an argument to Get. Then you can first assign that path to a variable and call it from within the .m file. If yu are using Needs on that file's context (or get, for that matter) you will first need to look in the context paths given by Contexts[] to see where the file is located (assuming that it is unique--if not then it will be the first occurrence in the list of of contexts). Then you can use that file path in the previously mentioned variable.... Offhand I don't know a way using something like CurrentValue to get the location of the file from within the file if it is not first opened. Hope that this helps... -David A WorkLife FrameWork E x t e n d i n g MATHEMATICA's Reach... http://scientificarts.com/worklife/ On Mar 9, 6:06=A0am, Frank Scherbaum <Frank.Scherb... at geo.uni- potsdam.de> wrote: > Hi, > is there a way to =A0obtain the full path to a *.m file from within that > same file under Mathematica 6? > Frank > > Frank Scherbaum > Institut f=FCr Geowissenschaften > Universit=E4t Potsdam > Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 24 > D-14476 Potsdam-Golm > Tel.: +49-331-977-5870/71 > Fax: +49-331-977-5700 > f... at geo.uni-potsdam.dehttp://www.geo.uni-potsdam.de/Mitarbeiter/Scherbaum= /scherbaum.html
