_GetPath and _RunIn UDF

[ssamko]

Hello !

I am quite new in autoit but I think that this udf can be useful for some of you becuse I couldn't find something similar. It includes 2 functions:

1) _GetPath - this function can get full path from name of file

2) _RunIn - function for opening URL in non-default browser

#include-once
#include <Constants.au3>

Func _GetPath($name="")
   Local $DOS, $Message = '',$path

   $DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /C cd \ & dir /s /b "&$name, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
   ProcessWaitClose($DOS)
   $Path = StdoutRead($DOS)
   If $Path="" Then Return 0

   Return $path

EndFunc   ;==>_GetPath

 ;=======================================================================================
; Function Name     _RunIn
;

;
; Author:           ssamko
;=======================================================================================
Func _RunIn($name="", $url="", $window=0)

   If $name<>"" And $url<>"" Then
      $url=" "&$url
      If Not FileExists ( $name ) Then $name= _GetPath($name)
      If $window=1 Then $window=" --new-window"

      Run($name&$url&$window)

      Return ""
   Else
      MsgBox(0,"Error","Make sure you if you filled both parameters.")
      Return 0
   EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>_RunIn

 

If you have some questions or tips just write.

Probably need to be an exe which was installed via some compliant package.

Definitely does not work on stand alone packages.

Yes...it is in description. Maybe later I will try to improve it for all exe files.

UDF updated ! Now _GetPath searches not only for installed exe but also for other files.
