**fScan Reference Manual, Chapter 4 (Variables): thiswin **
===== $Thiswin -- names associated with the current active window =====

 usage:\\
 **$thiswin** - the simple file name of the current window (no directories)\\
 **$thiswin2** - the filename for the current window (relative path)\\
 **$thiswin3** - the directory containing the current window data file (relative path)\\
 **$thiswin4** - the full file path name for the current window\\
 **$thiswin5** - the full path to the directory containing the current window file\\
 **$thiswin6** - the display name for the current window\\
 **$thiswin7** - the filename for the current window (relative to $exptdir)\\
 **$thiswin8** - the directory for the current window (relative to $exptdir)\\
 **$thiswin9** - the simple directory name for the current window (omit path to this directory)\\

THISWIN is always the name of the current active data set. Adding a number at the end of the variable name let's you choose what portion or form of the data set name you want; the meaning of these numerical modifiers is described above.  The default modifier is 1 (so $thiswin is the same as $thiswin1).

The same naming convention applies to other filename variables (e.g. [[jvs:fscan:manual:chapter4:prevwin|$prevwin]],
[[jvs:fscan:manual:chapter4:pdigmfile|$pdigmfile]]). A somewhat different naming convention applies to directory variables (e.g. [[jvs:fscan:manual:chapter4:curdir|$curdir]], [[jvs:fscan:manual:chapter4:fscanhome|$fscanhome]],
[[jvs:fscan:manual:chapter4:wspacedir|$wspacedir]], etc).
