Organizing Pictures for Movie

[BigBear]

I am a collection of images extracted from a .gif used in the introduction to my program (Disney Pictures Presents)
I want the folder container my program and files to be organized, so I can have these 67 pictures in another folder than declare them like this

code:

%pic:= Pic.FileNew ("C:\Documents and Settings\Fake\My Documents\Assignement\Intro-"+intstr(picnum)+".bmp")

However this only works on on my computer if I change computers this line of code must change. Like when I submit it to my teacher.

Please, if you know another way other than having all those pictures in the same folder as everything else please tell me.

relative path

[BigBear]

Well usually when you reply to my posts with a few words I realize that you gave me a command or another key word to search for. I have researched this relative path but have not been able to solve my problem.

Is there a way to get current directory? Or change director to another directory within the current one?

I guess this is why you have to specify where programs are installed to import their values to the registry and specify directories.

Can I use a .CAB file to get files or would this require me to specify its location?

Sorry Tony I was unable to solve your two word riddle.

JFGI

Wow I never knew what the meant I have heard and said "google it" or "I just googled"
So I click on your link thinking I would find a post or tutorial by you or Dan or some other knowledgeable user that would answer my problem but no google.com pops up. So I googled JFGI and first page, I am feeling lucky, comes up with www.fuckinggoogleit.com/

Well I will thanks.

code:

pic:= Pic.FileNew ("Intro-"+intstr(picnum)+".bmp")

or if they are in a folder...

code:

pic:= Pic.FileNew ("YOURFOLDERNAMEHERE\Intro-"+intstr(picnum)+".bmp")

....huh
as long they are in the same folder, this should work

[BigBear]

So I know the difference between relative and absolute paths. So I guess therei sno other way and either I prompt my teacher for the directory my program is in.
Or have 67 pictures in the same folder as my turing file and text files.

Yes it does work I just wanted my folder to look more organized. That's all

[HeavenAgain]

then just make a folder, and call it pictures or whatever, and

code:

pic:= Pic.FileNew ("pictures or whatever\Intro-"+intstr(picnum)+".bmp")

as long the picture folder and the turing source file are in the SAME folder, it, is, fine.

Omg I feel so stupid thanks for being patient and now I know how it's done.
I thought it was either in the same folder or specify entire location. Thanks HeavenAgain +Karma +Bits

Edit :Edit by Clayton: None of that now.
