Display file path of .gms

GAMS
1

Hello,

I would like to ask if it is possible to display the file path of the gams file used?

E.g.:
The model is saved on the desktop: “C:\Users.…\Desktop\model.gms”

Is it possible to ask in the gams model to display the file path, like:

display …;

Result should be: “C:\Users.…\Desktop”


Many thanks,
Ruukie

GAMS has the input file name available in the string variable %gams.i%. You can split ($setnames) an absolute/relative file name in to its parts: path, name, extension and work with these:

$log %gams.i%
$setnames “%gams.i%” filepath filename fileextension
$log %filepath%
$log %filename%
$log %fileextension%

If you needs this in a display statement do:

display ‘%gams.i%’, ‘%filepath%’;

Hope this helps,
