FindFilenameOfCmd function

Declaration

function FindFilenameOfCmd(ProgramFilename: string): string

Arguments

Function result

Absolute path to the requested program file, or an empty string.

Description

FindFilenameOfCmd is a String function used to get the full path for the executable file specified in the ProgramFilename argument. FindFilenameOfCmd calls the FilenameIsAbsolute routine to determine if a relative path in ProgramFilename needs to be resolved. FindDefaultExecutablePath is called to search the PATH environment when path information is not used in ProgramFilename.

The return value contains the absolute path and file name. If the file does not exist on the local file system, the return value is an empty string ('').
