Sketch name as PreProcessor value?

Development Suggestions for the Arduino Project
5

Thanks again AWOL for the tip.

I threw together this little function to display what I need. Maybe someone else will find it helpful as well.

// displays at startup the Sketch running in the Arduino
void display_Running_Sketch (void){
  String the_path = __FILE__;
  int slash_loc = the_path.lastIndexOf('/');
  String the_cpp_name = the_path.substring(slash_loc+1);
  int dot_loc = the_cpp_name.lastIndexOf('.');
  String the_sketchname = the_cpp_name.substring(0, dot_loc);

  Serial.print("\nArduino is running Sketch: ");
  Serial.println(the_sketchname);
  Serial.print("Compiled on: ");
  Serial.print(__DATE__);
  Serial.print(" at ");
  Serial.print(__TIME__);
  Serial.print("\n");
}

I call it like this in setup()

void setup() {      
  Serial.begin(9600);
  display_Running_Sketch();
}

My output in the Serial Monitor looks like this:

Arduino is running Sketch: MyTestSketch_ver_2
Compiled on: Aug 15 2012 at 09:36:27

(It could, of course, be used without the function, just copy/paste directly into setup() )
