fFyj5‖ChDir Statement

yr6FQ‖Changes the current directory or drive.

warning

9njBT‖Some DOS-specific file and directory functions are no longer provided in LibreOfficeDev, or their function is only limited. For example, support for the ChDir, ChDrive and CurDir functions is not provided. Some DOS-specific properties are no longer used in functions that expect file properties as parameters (for example, to differentiate from concealed files and system files). This ensures the greatest possible level of platform independence for LibreOfficeDev. Therefore this feature is subject to removal in a future release.


note

e4feF‖The ScriptForge library in LibreOfficeDev 7.1 introduces the FileSystem service with methods to handle files and folders in user scripts.
