Hi all,

I need to retrieve a view's resource path via scripting in the view.

How can I do this?

Thanks.

Do you mean  
"a views resource path" or  
"a view's resource path"?  
(Punctuation really matters.)

What are you trying to do?

OK, you're trying to retrieve a view's path.

I don't know if you can but I don't know that there's a need to.  
What is the application going to do with the information? There may be a better solution.
