I am not sure how to get the absolute path from __FILE__ macro in Borland C++ Compiler. When I use it in my program I am only getting the file name. Is there some setting through which we can get the complete path. Please help ASAP.
Use the dot operator (.) to get the path to the current folder and join __FILE__ with it to get the complete path.
printf would not solve the issue but you can use to open a file in the current folder and get its path and then print it. I am not sure about the Borland but its a general way of doing thing.
Not sure about Borland, but if you set your compiler options to "use full path" (there's often a command-line equivalent), then __FILE__ includes the path.
I figured out that one way of doing this would be to make use of the GetFullPathName function provided by the Windows SDK.
