Does anybody know how to retrieve the name (and possibly the path) of the current experiment?

If you've saved the experiment already, Igor creates a path named "home" which points to the directory in which the experiment resides. So you can use PathInfo to see if the home path exists, and if it does then use the S_path output variable.

Hmm, I thought it must be IgorInfo but overlooked it somehow...

Thanks anyway.

If the experiment has been saved, the path will be saved in the path "home"
pathinfo home
print S_Path
