Getting Environment Variables at Runtime

nehamalik

Hi All!

I'm building a logging application and I need to get the local variable names and values at runtime for the same. Could anyone please help me on this? :( Can I get them off Stacktrace?

Thanks

Could you post some code? Do explain further too...

MrMancunian

Do you mean local variables as %temp%, %systemroot% and %user%?

In the cmd when you type 'set' you will get all the local variables. use this with system.process and extract the data like so:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

         public string GetLV()

        {

            System.Diagnostics.Process GetLVP = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

            GetLVP.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";

            GetLVP.StartInfo.Arguments = "/c set";

            GetLVP.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

            GetLVP.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

            GetLVP.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;

            GetLVP.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

            GetLVP.Start();

            string Raw LV = GetLVP.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); // asynch, thats why we need a waitforexit.

            GetLVP.WaitForExit();

        }

now you have to process whatever you are looking for to use with some regex or an IndexOf

There most certainly is an easier method though.

The easier way for this is to use ' getenvironment variable' as you haven't stated what language :) I have given c# and vb although the command for retrieving is the same anyway , just replace ' ALLUSERSPROFILE' with the name of the variable

VB -

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

MsgBox(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ALLUSERSPROFILE"))

C#

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

MessageBox.Show(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ALLUSERSPROFILE"));

As an alternative that can be used for other running processes too:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
private string CurrentProcessEnvironmentVarriables()

{

    System.Diagnostics.Process ps = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess(); ;

    System.Collections.Specialized.StringDictionary sd = ps.StartInfo.EnvironmentVariables;

    StringBuilder list = new StringBuilder();

    foreach (string key in sd.Keys)

    {

        list.AppendFormat("{0}={1}\r\n", key, sd[key]);        

    }

    //MessageBox.Show(list.ToString()); 

    return list.ToString();

}
