Expand description

Find all binaries matching a regular expression in a list of paths.

Only available when feature regex is enabled.

Arguments

  • regex - A regular expression to match binaries with
  • paths - A string containing the paths to search (separated in the same way as the PATH environment variable)

Examples

use regex::Regex;
use which::which;
use std::path::PathBuf;

let re = Regex::new(r"python\d$").unwrap();
let paths = Some("/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin");
let binaries: Vec<PathBuf> = which::which_re_in(re, paths).unwrap().collect();
let python_paths = vec![PathBuf::from("/usr/bin/python2"), PathBuf::from("/usr/bin/python3")];
assert_eq!(binaries, python_paths);
