Platform dependent File Path....

Hi All
i m stuck with this problem:
In my application there is one path for the folder where resultlog is to be stored.it's like--C:\Application\SchedulerApi\Api\results\

Now when the user installs the application,its not neccessary that he has
c:\ as base directory.so what can i do to make this work with any base directory,say d:\ or e:\ or whatever...

any help please..................
thanks in advance..

Without selecting the base directory, how can you define the path? there should be a logic in your application to select the base directory.

thanks for the reply Eranga,but my problem is that its an automation Framework of java and i have specified the location myself where 'ResultLog' has to be stored:
If the client installs this application in C:\ the path of result file should be :
C:\Application\SchedulerApi\Api\results\

If the client installs this application in D:\ the path of the result file should be :
C:\Application\SchedulerApi\Api\results\

Now if i could know in which drive the client has installed the application,then it would solve my problem...
plz help!!!!

So why are you stuck on that. What ever the path client define, use the hard-coded path you want on the C:\ drive. I didn't see any difficulties there.

Ask the client to set an env. variable

YOUR_APPLICATION_HOME
to xxx:\Application\

you can access this variable at run time

and append the rest of the path.

File.listRoots() then have customer select drive letter, then do StringBuffer.append("\\Application\\SchedulerApi\\ Api\\results\\");

Eranga, I think the OP made a mistake and meant the following:

sanjayksaini, please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Is it? I've not get that point clearly. I thought what ever the drive choose by the user, the path should on C:.
