Configuration Variable Period

Bentley does :)

 i.e.  ...\TriForma\config\appl\intmgr.cfg
Line 72 - IFM_CONFIG : $(TFDIR_MDLAPPS)../config/

I tried a couple of variations of this but don't get the right result...

A123456789 = J:/99999/
A111111 : $(A123456789)../tretert/

Results in..

J:\99999\..\tretert\

better use {parentdevdir $(A123456789)}tretert/

not sure if we used  ../ ever, but changed our customers configs to use the parentdevdir variant.

PS: maybe you need to evaluate the content of A111111

Just curious, but have you looked into configuration file preprocessor directives?

[edit: What Michael identified... :)]

Results in..J:\99999\..\tretert\

BTW: This is a valid path, maybe not the shortest possibility, but it works.
Sometimes it could be easier to define a help-variable with a root path. At least there are many good possibilities to work with.

I'm just wondering how MS finds the destination path, behaviourally, if it does not know the inbetween heirarchy... or does MS just keep searching up the tree until it finds the first 'matching' path and use that?

Anyway if it doesn't work I'll scrap it.
