Specifying paths

Specifying paths
Within CloneSpy there are several locations where you can specify a file or folder path. These are:

• the Automation window
• the Export CSC-file window
• the Merge CSC-file window
• the Batch file properties frame in the Batch page of the Options window
• the Move to folder frame in the Deletion page of the Options window
• the Export list properties frame in the Export page of the Options window
• the Log file frame in the Logging page of the Options window
• the command line parameters

Paths entered to the said locations can either be absolute or relative and may contain environment variables:

• Absolute paths start with a drive letter, for example: 'C:\Program files\CloneSpy\CSDefault.cst'.



• Relative paths start with '.', '..', or '\', for example: '.\CSDefault.cst'. Relative paths are taken relative to the location of the CloneSpy executable.



• Environment variables have to be specified in the form of '%<variable>%'. If an environment variable is defined it will be replaced by its value, otherwise it will simply be removed from the path. If the resulting path becomes invalid an error message will be shown. If you want to specify a path that contains a percent symbol ('%') as normal character then you have to escape it be typing '%%'.
