which command

Published in: DOS Batch

This which.bat command works like Linux/bash 'which'

Save the Source as file which.bat and place it somewhere in the executable path.

Example usage: "which notepad.exe" results in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe". Note the .exe - 'which notepad' (without the .exe) results in "notepad not found in path"

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

@Set Which=%~$PATH:1
@if "%Which%"=="" ( echo %1 not found in path ) else ( echo %Which% )
