I've added a path to my binary (Windows) so I can access it anywhere, I'm using it with commandline arguments, but I can't figure out how to get the path where I'm calling it from.

For example, let's say I want to pass in the filename of a file in the current directory by just passing the name, not the whole path, if I can get the path from where I'm calling the program, I can just do a little magic and get the path I need.

That returns the path where the binary is at, not where I'm calling it from

Example: Windows path goes to c:nim I'm calling it from c:blatest I need to get the calling path, c:blatest

@Stefan_Salewski, thanks! That seems to work like a charm :)
