Get Filepath ?

[MAGNET]

Hi Gint !

What would be the fastest way to get the file path from a program that isnt running ? path is probably different on other Systems.

Im actualy using FE_Dir and foreach to enumerate files which works fine on my home pc but on the office/company pc's that having alot and mostly different data its kinda slow. I know a few programs saving the instal path in the regestry but not all do and not even all are installed or they dont requiere an istallation.

like i said the code below works fine i was just wondering if you know of a way that maybe saves me a bit time..

Thats what i do ;

Code:

Copy      Help

Dir d
foreach(d "C:\xyz.exe" FE_Dir 0xC)
,str sPath=d.FileName(1)
,out sPath

Thank you

Skip some big folders where you don't expect to find.
At first get 1 level. Then search in next level, but skip some folders.

Yes i thought of just split them up and skip "standard" folders aswell as folders where i don't expect.

Thank you

best regards
