The program allows you to enter many names/masks of files on one command line, limit the number of returned files, ignore or take into account the size of characters, calculate CRC32 checksums, display the last modification time of files, their size, VersionInfo block from executable files (on Windows) and other.

Online Help

This program was made for my private use, but it may also be useful to someone.

PathLocate can be useful for administrators to quickly locate executable files, check their version, as well as in batch files for making decisions in the absence of any files necessary for the proper operation of the script.
