Announcing the release of "ruby which"[1]
README:
Ruby-which is the linux "which" command re-written in ruby [and
windows-friendly].
-- An executable locator (which command) for windows that actually works!
There seems to be a lack of a "which" command for windows that
actually work--they sometimes skip batch files entirely [batch file?
what's that?] or don't list extensions, leaving you in doubt. Despite
running "which yyy" you never know what you're really running when you
next run yyy in the command line--is it yyy.exe or some other yyy.bat
that wasn't reported by "which"?
Try it--you might really like it.
To install:
C:\>gem install rogerdpack-whichr
C:\>whichr executable_name_here [extension can be included, but is optional]
usage:
C:\>whichr ruby
higher in the list will be executed first
./ruby.bat
C:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe
c:/cygwin/bin/ruby.exe

discovers the location of installed ruby libraries, i.e. which gem
folder they're in
"C:\>rwhich ruby-which
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/Pistos-ruby-which-0.5.3/lib/ruby-which.rb"
Enjoy.
