Subject: Retrieving original value of enviroment variable HOME
Date: Wed, 06 May 2020 17:43:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49ac0f366628190337f80efccc25a6c6@vivaldi.net> (raw)
Hello,
before I run ConTeXt, I set a (new) variable "HOME" to point to a
particular directory.
ConTeXt changes its value during startup - it sets its value to
%USERPROFILE% - I guess it is to unify environment somehow for all
platforms ConTeXt supports; probably here:
---- data-ini.lua, ln. ~86
do
local homedir = osgetenv(ostype == "windows" and 'USERPROFILE' or
'HOME') or ''
if not homedir or homedir == "" then
homedir = char(127) -- we need a value, later we wil trigger on
it
end
homedir = file.collapsepath(homedir)
ossetenv("HOME", homedir) -- can be used in unix cnf files
<<<<<<<<<<<<<< HERE
ossetenv("USERPROFILE",homedir) -- can be used in windows cnf files
environment.homedir = homedir
end
----
But anyway - would it be possible to store the original value of HOME
environment variable (if set) before it gets changed during
initialization - e.g. to a Lua table?
- I would need to work with the original value in run-time (Win7 / WinX;
ConTeXt MkIV).
Best regards,
Lukas
