Locating IDL source code file [message #44420]

it in retrospect using Google groups]

Hi all,

I'm trying to write some code that will read information (like version
numbers and dates) from the source files for procedures and functions
that it uses. In Matlab I would use a command like

>> which fred

to return the full path to the source file "fred.m". How do I get the
same result from IDL v6.1? I've tried something like

IDL> ttt = file_which('fred.pro', /include_current_dir)

but just got a null string returned. This might be because I'm using
the IDLDE, so the routine isn't actually on the search path !PATH, even
though it has been compiled OK when building the project.

Once this problem is solved, I'll also need to determine the filename
for the source file containing a definition of 'fred', because most of
the routines in this project don't have their own 'fred.pro' source
file.

Any ideas?
TIA,
Craig
