When I run it locally I don't use environment variables, but it's also used as a script that's run on Jenkins after a project builds, and Jenkins defines the workspace variable.
I ended up just making a method that checks if the first path element starts with a $ and doing exactly what you said, but I was just hoping there was something already built in. > Could you push things through a call-out to 'system' with the 'echo' program? I'm just copying a file, so I could use system to copy the file instead of Racket's copy-file, and that would take care of the environment stuff. That's probably better than my solution. It would be nice to have a flag or something that tells a path function to resolve environment variables, but it's probably not a common enough case to merit an extra api function. Thanks for the suggestions.
