Specify path to home directory in Windows

Question

Is there any way to define a path relative to home in windows ?

Like it's done here for linux

@Moriambar the link in the question is "how to input file in home directly into latex" so it is a tex question (just obscured) — David Carlisle, Jun 01 '17 at 18:56

The answers given in the linked question should work.

\input{\string~/abc}

for example.

The documentation of the comments (for example in

/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf

or equivalent on your system) say

.... ~ expands to %USERPROFILE% on Windows, $HOME otherwise.

Right. Thanks! I had an error on my first try of this solution and thought it was platform specific. – cladelpino Jun 01 '17 at 19:03
