getHome for an inline function

Bhargav Coca

Hello,
I amon TS6.5 on win2k3. I have an inline command which populates the select box for me. The path to call the *.ipl is hard coded, i think this is not a good programming technique. Can any one suggest me as to how can i have a getHome() in my inline command in my datacapture.cfg. Here is the snippet which uses it.
thank you

<label>Affiliates</label>
<description>Please choose the affiliates</description>
<select required="t" size="10" multiple="t">
<inline command="F:\iw-home\iw-perl\bin\iwperl.exe F:\iw-home\iw-perl\bin\populate.ipl Affiliates"/>
</select>

I don't believe there is a way, but if you want to make it portable, how would you feel about making a separate workarea within your branch specifically for code. Also, if your script is executable, you shouldn't need the iwperl.exe part. This way, you can call your script the following way:

<inline command="../../../code/ipl/populate.ipl Affiliates"/>

... for instance. Yeah, ya might need to play with the slashes... I hate Windows.
