LocateDBs()

Summary

Attempts to locate the given files along the search path set by SetSearchPath().

Syntax

paths = LocateDBs(array names)

Returns

An array of the same length as the input array. For each name, if the file was found in the search path, the fully-qualified path (including file name and extension) is given in the output array. If the name was not found, the output array element is set to null.

Notes

• Although the name of this function implies that it is just for databases, in fact it is useful for locating files of any type.

Example

paths = LocateDBs({"ccstreet.cdf"})
if paths[1] != null then do
layers = GetDBLayers(paths[1])
AddLayer("my_map", "Streets", paths[1], layers[2])
end
