Detailed description
This does not resolve a pathname, for this use File.AbsPath. What this will do is use the $(variable) syntax to expand the string using built-in variable names used in the compiler settings and other pathname fields in Flowcode.
The list of variables available in this expansion are:
| Variable | Meaning | 
|---|---|
| appdir | The Flowcode applications directory | 
| chip | The name of the target chip, eg 16F88 | 
| family | The family of the target chip, eg 16F | 
| platform | The platform of the target chip, eg PIC | 
| chippath | The full name of the target chip, eg PIC.16F.16F88 | 
| chipalt | The alternate-name of the target chip | 
| cfga | The address of the base of the config, as specified in the FCD file | 
| cfgb | The number of bytes of the config specified in the FCD file | 
| cfgen | Whether the user has selected to write config to the chip | 
| cfgN | Starting with cfg0, the slot values specified in the config | 
| target | The source or target file leafname, without an extension, eg my_project | 
| srcdir | The directory the my-project.fcf file is located in | 
| outdir | The directory output and intermediate files are sent to | 
Examples
Calling in a calculation
- Declare a variable 'result' of type STRING
 - Add to a calculation icon: 
result = ::Expand.PathName("source")
