reading OS environment variables

[haupz]

Hello,

say I have an env variable set at OS level, e.g.,

Code: Select all

export MY_VAR=something

, and want to read that variable's value in Dyalog. How do I to that?

(Things I found about "environment variables" are usually about the Dyalog env vars, not about pulling in OS env vars.)

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Code: Select all

      ⎕ ← 2 ⎕NQ '.' 'GetEnvironment' 'MY_VAR'

Hi John,

thank you, that's interesting. The pointer to the ⎕NQ function made for some new discoveries. :-)

Best,

Michael
