Any help would be appreciated. I've tried:

Code:

extractFilePath(process)
extractFilePath('name_of_game')


Thanks in advance.

In addition (a bit dark, but it works)

Have fun...

local path = io.popen("PowerShell Get-Process -Id "..getOpenedProcessID().." ^| Format-List Path"):read("*all"):gsub("^%s*Path : (.-)%s*","%1");


process("cheatengine-x86_64.exe")
result:

C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.2\cheatengine-x86_64.exe

EDIT:
DB's suggestion is more stable and does not require additional options (cmd blackout etc).

Thanks DarkByte, I'll add this to my code list.

@DB,
Thanks! Something so small yet had me scratching my head for a while.

@ByTransient,
Nevertheless, it's always good to have multiple ways of achieving the same result.

I learned some new tricks today Smile
