Returns the path of the directory designated for temporary files.
$ = TempDir[$]
Returns a string specifying the temporary file path. The returned string ends with a backslash, for example, C:\TEMP\.
The TempDir function checks for the existence of environment variables in the following order and uses the first path found:
The path specified by the TMP environment variable (%TMP%).
The path specified by the TEMP environment variable (%TEMP%).
The path specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable (%USERPROFILE%).
The Windows directory.
Note that the function does not verify that the path exists.
Windows Me/98/95: If TMP and TEMP are not set to a valid path, TempDir uses the current directory.
Message TempDir
The system directories have different names on different machines and OSs. For often used directories GFA-BASIC 32 provides WinDir, SysDir, and TempDir to return the specific directories.
