_GetPath and _RunIn UDF

[ssamko 0]

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

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

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.
