Path Buffer Functions

InstallShield 2019 » InstallScript Language Reference

The path buffer functions are available to assist you in working with strings that contain search paths. The path string functions work on a unique temporary string variable known as the path buffer. The path buffer is defined internally within InstallShield—all the path string functions act on the contents of the path buffer.

Path functions assist you in manipulating and building path strings. After you have created a path string, you can save it to the appropriate file.
