When I was trying to get elevated rights for my batch script, when I found two related SO questions How to request Administrator access inside a batch file How can I auto-elevate my batch file, so that it requests from UAC administrator rights if required? ...that led to answers that worked partially. For some reason, I had issues with command line passing for file path arguments containing spaces within the VBS script, so I tried to break the solution into 3 parts and concentrated on the inner (VBS) step, then adding the last step by calling a batch from that VBS which could not be found,

The question What is the difference between Cwd::cwd and Cwd::getcwd in Perl, generally, without regard to any specific platform? Why does Perl have both? What is the intended use, which one should I use in which scenarios? (Example use cases will be appreciated.) Does it matter? (Assuming I don’t mix them.) Does choice of either one affect portability in any way? Which one is more commonly used in modules? Even if I interpret the manual is saying that except for corner cases cwd is `pwd` and getcwd just calls getcwd from unistd.h , what is the actual difference? This works only on POSIX

I am running a Java application from the command line. Can I specify a command line argument to set the current running directory to something other than where the application is actually going to run? Datta Rooyikar There is a JVM argument -Duser.dir which can be used to set working directory for JVM. If it all possible I would rather use a script to run the java application and set the directory in the script: #!/bin/sh cd <your dir> java <some arguments> The JNI-solution may affect all kinds of relative paths in your application; for examples the classpath you put in. If you want to change

How do I get the application's directory from my WPF application, at design time? I need to access a resource in my application's current directory at design time, while my XAML is being displayed in the designer. I'm not able to use the solution specified in this question as at design time both System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName) and System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location point to the IDE's location (Visual Studio... Common7 or something). Upon request to further clarify my goals: I want to access a database table at design time

I'm using os.system() to do Windows command line shell executions. I would like to change the Windows cmd current directory. Here's one way of doing it: os.chdir('newPath') But chdir() will also change the actual Python current working directory. I don't want to change the actual Python working directory because I want other parts of my script to run in the original current working directory. What I want to change is only the Windows cmd current working directory. In other words: I want os.system() commands to run in one current working directory (Windows cmd current working directory) while

I understand that in R to set my working directory I can do: setwd("~/dir1/dir2/mydir") If mydir is a unique directory name, is there way to specify the working directory without stating dir1/dir2 ? Thanks Sys.glob does what you want: setwd(Sys.glob("~/*/*/mydir")) If you don't know how deep it's nested, you can use list.files or dir : list.files(path="~", pattern="mydir", all.files=TRUE, full.names=TRUE, recursive=TRUE, ignore.case=FALSE, include.dirs=TRUE) 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12324539/specify-directory-with-setwd
