Export to a folder on a flash drive with a runtime?

[Rich S]

Short and sweet: How do I script an export of records to a folder residing on a flash drive (using a runtime solution which will reside on the flash drive)? I just can't figure out how to set the path in the Export script step since the flash drive's drive letter will be different for every user. Me thinks I may need a plug-in, but I'm not sure.

I'd also like to code it so the script will work on a Mac and PC.

TIA in advance for your help!

Use a relative path starting with "file:" to locate a folder relative to the runtime's database file.

Or use Get(FilePath) and parse it with a calculation (along with Get(SystemPlatform)) to get something you can make into an absolute path specific to the platform.
