Yes, on the Windows command line, you can use the where command, which is similar to the which command on Unix-like systems. The where command is used to locate the executable file associated with a given command or program. Here's how to use it with an example:
batch
where <command>
<command>is the name of the command or program you want to locate.
For example, to find the location of the python executable on your system, you can use the following command:
batch
where python
The where command will search through the directories listed in your system's PATH environment variable and display the paths to all matching executables. The output may look something like this:
makefile
C:\Python27\python.exe
C:\Python38\python.exe
This output shows the paths to multiple python.exe executables that are found in different directories in your PATH. You can use this information to determine which version of Python is being executed when you run the python command.
The where command is a useful tool for locating executable files associated with commands and programs on Windows systems.
