Getting Host information

mat-ski — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 16:08:46 GMT

In the documentation I see that you can use

If( Host is( "Mac" ), ... );

To do something conditionally if the current Host is a Mac, however I do not see any way to get the value of Host and my blind guessing (Host doesn't seem to be accessible on its own and Host Is() without any arguments does not work) has not yet turned anything up. Is there a way for me to access this value?

You can set your own Host value

Names Default To Here( 1 );
If( Host is( "Mac" ),
	Host="Mac",Host="Windows"
);

Oh I see thanks, I didn't realize there were only "Mac"/"Windows" and "Bits32"/"Bits64" to check here.
