GetEnvironmentString function
Return an environment variable by index.
Declaration
function GetEnvironmentString(Index: Integer): RTLStringDescription
GetEnvironmentString returns the
Index-th environment
variable. The index is 1 based, and is bounded from above by the result of
GetEnvironmentVariableCount.
For an example, GetEnvironmentVariableCount.
Note that on Windows, environment strings can start with an equal sign (=).
This is a trick used to pass the current working directory to a newly created
process. In this case, extracting the variable name as the characters before
the first equal sign will result in an empty name.
Errors
If there is no environment, an empty string is returned.
