7346 :: get temp directory on windows?

• oyster (orginal) [2021-01-07T04:23:22+01:00] view original

  on my windows, the temp directory is something like C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp I have checked https://nim-lang.org/docs/os.html#getTempDir , but which is not the solution as the document says

  so what is the reliable way to get temp directory on variable windows machine?

  Thanks

  import os
  echo getTempDir()
  
  Run

  Works perfectly fine on Windows.
