✅ Get full paths to executables in %PATH%

Is there an easy way to get the full path of a program that's available in the shell because of the PATH environment variable (like gcm does in powershell or which on unix)? e.g. ResolvePath("dotnet") would return C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe I don't want to start a process and I don't want to iterate over PATH myself.

iterate over PATH yourself something like

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH").First(x => "dotnet.exe".Equals(Path.GetFileName(x.AsSpan()), StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH").First(x => "dotnet.exe".Equals(Path.GetFileName(x.AsSpan()), StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
