Origin Ver. and Service Release: 9.1.0, 64 bit
Operating System: Windows 7

I am trying to get the name of the active folder in the Origin instance that my LabVIEW code is connected to.
The following page: http://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/guide/String-registers lists a number of codes which can be used with the IOApplication Invoke Node to get a few useful objects' names. For instance, the snapshot below shows how to get the name of the folder in which the project is saved (which is not what I am interested in, I am talking about the internal folder structure of the Origin project):



I can't seem to find one that would correspond to what I am looking for.

Thanks, this worked fine.
For those who wonder, the first invoke node is the "execute" method, and the second, "LTStr(get)".

Hello,

You can modify your LabVIEW Block Diagram in this way:

So I tried this:



and got an empty string, whatever folder is active in the Origin project I am communicating with. The script seems to be working fine within Origin.
Note: The glasses+String VI is a utility to cast a Variant to a String.

OK, I'll try that.

Origin System String Registers do not have one for Active Folder name. You will need to run LabTalk code to call pe_path X-Function to obtain the full path of the current folder and then get the last token. We have an upcoming Origin2016 SR2 that will have this readily available in a string register "%@F" though.
