v_unixwhich

PURPOSE ^

V_UNIXWHICH Search system path for an executable program [F]=(C,E)

SYNOPSIS ^

function f=v_unixwhich(c,e)

DESCRIPTION ^

V_UNIXWHICH Search system path for an executable program [F]=(C,E)

 Inputs: C  name of file to search for (excluding extension)
         E  list of extensions [default = '.com;.exe;.bat' unless C contains '.']

 Outputs: F  Full pathname of executable (use FILEPARTS() to split up)

 Notes: (1) This is WINDOWS specific and needs to be fixed to work on UNIX systems
        (2) The search is case insensitive (like most of WINDOWS). 
        (3) The routine does not cache the directory listings so you
            should avoid doing the same search many times if you care
            about speed.
        (4) To include all files that CMD.EXE will search, set e=v_winenvar('pathext')
        (5) As well as their normal full-length name, WINDOWS files and folders have 
            a short name assigned by the operating system that is 8 characters long
            (+ 3 more for the extension). These short names are usually hidden from the
            user and UNIXWHICH, unlike the operating system, will not search for them.
