Example

For the following examples, the actual base filename for the modifiers is: C:\Freescale\my demo\TheWholeThing.myExt.

The %p modifier gives the path only with a file separator:

     C:\Freescale\my demo\  

Using the %N modifier results in a filename in 8.3 format (that is, the name with only eight characters):

     TheWhole  

The %n modifier returns the whole the filename without extension:

     TheWholeThing  

The %E modifier gives the extension in 8.3 format (that is, the extension with only three characters):

     myE  

Use the %e modifier to get the whole extension:

     myExt  

The %f modifier gives the path plus the filename:

     C:\Freescale\my demo\TheWholeThing  

When the path contains a space, we recommend using %" or %'. Thus, %"%f%" gives (using double quotes):

     "C:\Freescale\my demo\TheWholeThing"  

Using %'%f%' gives (using single quotes):

     `C:\Freescale\my demo\TheWholeThing'  

The modifier %(envVariable) uses an environment variable. The Compiler ignores a file separator following %(envVariable) if the environment variable is empty or non-existent. In other words, if you set TEXTPATH to:

     TEXTPATH=C:\Freescale\txt,   

the Compiler replaces:

     %(TEXTPATH)\myfile.txt   

with:

     C:\Freescale\txt\myfile.txt  

But if TEXTPATH is empty or non-existent, the Compiler replaces:

    %(TEXTPATH)\myfile.txt  

with:

     myfile.txt  

Use the %% modifier to print a percent sign. Using %e%% gives:

     myExt%
