47.22. $setSearchPath

The PROCEDURE $setSearchPath allows a user program to get the effect of the MAINEX SEARCHPATH subcommand (see Section 21.2.35 of the MAINSAIL Utilities User's Guide). For example, the effect of the subcommand:

SEARCHPATH source:* *.msl /old/*.msl

may be obtained from a MAINSAIL program with:

$setSearchPath("source:*","*.msl /old/*.msl");

The PROCEDUREs $getSearchPath and $applySearchPath may be used to examine a searchpath from a program; see Section 30.15.

The searchpath pattern and path syntax may change in future releases.
