How do I determine CD-ROM Drive Letter ? 

Keywords:    CD ROM CDROM CD-ROM

Question:

Using WB, I need to determine the Drive Letter being used for a giving PC's CD-ROM Drive. Taking that info and using it in a WB FileCopy or Run Command.

OR can I take the CD's Label Name & use UNC type naming convention in a WB FileCopy or Run Commands? ?

Answer:

Option #1: 
	cddrives=DiskScan(8)
	cdCount=ItemCount(cddrives,@tab)
	Message("NUmber of CD DRives",cdcount)

	for xx=1 to cddount
	   thiscd=ItemExtract(xx,cddrives,@tab)
	   Message(xx,thiscd)
	next
Option #2. If a compiled WinBatch script is running from the CD-ROM, a better way is... 
	myexe=WinExeName("")
	root=strsub(myexe,1,3)
	Message("CD ROOT",root)
