== Original Request ==

{{{
I'm using Automap 2008.3. I want the Post Build script to copy a metadata
file from the source (framemaker source) directory to the deployment
directory. I don't see a variable for specifying the source directory. I
hate to hard code the path into each script.

Anyone know of a variable that will specify the source directory?
}}}

== Script ==

Attached as [[attachment:document_path.vbs]].

Execute with:

 {{{
cscript document_path.vbs ${ProjectFile}
}}}

Example:

 {{{
C:\Documents and Settings\allums>cscript "C:\Documents and Settings\allums\Desktop\document_path.vbs" "C:\Documents and Settings\allums\Desktop\info\info.wep"
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7

C:\Documents and Settings\allums\Desktop\info\..\..\..\..\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.2\samples\overview\book
}}}

This is not quite a complete solution as DOS makes it difficult (impossible?) to store the project result in a DOS environment variable.  However, the code can be used as a stating point to perform whatever operation that is required.
