<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 579035 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/bash/">bash</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/commandline/">commandline</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/commands/">commands</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/linux/">linux</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/shell/">shell</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/unix/">unix</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/utilities/">utilities</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/which/">which</a>). </p> <p>UNIX users are familiar with the which command. Given an argument called name, it checks the system PATH environment variable, to see whether that name exists (as a file) in any of the directories specified in the PATH. (The directories in the PATH are colon-separated on UNIX and semicolon-separated on Windows.)</p> <p>This recipe shows how to write a minimal which command in Python. It has been tested on Windows.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>WHICH.PY scans through all directories specified in the system %PATH% environment variable, looking for the specified COMMAND(s). It tries to follow the sometimes bizarre rules for Windows command lookup.</p>

Kind of like the Unix "which" utility, but works for DLLs and other files as well.</p> <p>Usage: findinpath.py filename</p>
