Method filesystem.searchPath

Overload

Finds file or directory and returns full path.

public static string searchPath(string path, params string[] dirs)
Parameters
path  (string)

Full or relative path or just filename with extension. Supports network paths too.
dirs  (string[])

0 or more directories where to search.
Returns
string

null if not found.

Remarks

If the path argument is full path, calls filesystem.exists and returns normalized path if exists, null if not. Else searches in these places:

  1. dirs, if used.
  2. folders.ThisApp.
  3. Calls API SearchPath, which searches in process directory, Windows system directories, current directory, PATH environment variable. The search order depends on API SetSearchPathMode or registry settings.
  4. If path ends with ".exe", tries to get path from registry "App Paths" keys.
