Converting variant from evaluat to a string

Hello!.

I’m trying to convert the variant output from the Evaluate statment to a string and I keep getting type mismatch…

Can anyone help?

I tried:

get_path = | @RegQueryValue( “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”; “Software\Lotus\Notes”; “DataPath”) |

set_path = Evaluate ( get_path )

Set item = set_path

file_path = item.Text

and

get_path = | @RegQueryValue( “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”; “Software\Lotus\Notes”; “DataPath”) |

set_path = Evaluate ( get_path )

final_path = cStr(set_path)

Thank you.

Brett

The value is an array. Use set_path(0)

Why are you using the registry instead of the Directory environment variable?

Hi Andre…

I have tried exact that as well…

file_path = set_path(0) also fails…

I totally forgot about the enviroment string… Since that saves as type string… that should work…

I’ll post back when I test…

Thanks…

that was it… thank you.

set_path = s.GetEnvironmentString (“Directory”, 1)

file_path = set_path & "" & “Sig.htm”
