ChDir Statement

Changes the current directory or drive.

warning

Some DOS-specific file and directory functions are no longer provided in LibreOffice, 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 LibreOffice. Therefore this feature is subject to removal in a future release.


note

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


Syntax:


ChDir Teksts As String

Parameters:

Text: Any string expression that specifies the directory path or drive.

If you only want to change the current drive, enter the drive letter followed by a colon.
