Get Environment Variable

Retrieve the value of an existing Windows environment variable and place it into a new or existing wizard variable.

What is an environment variable?

Environment variables are strings that contain information such as drive, path, or file name. They control the behavior of various programs. For example, the TEMP environment variable specifies the location in which programs place temporary files.

To get a list of all existing environment variables and their values, open the Windows Command Prompt (type cmd from the Start Menu), then type set at the command line.

  1. Enter the name of the environment variable for which you would like to retrieve the value.

  2. Enter the name of the wizard variable into which you'd like to place the result.
