Results of findfile() are inconsistent:

The results seem consistent to me.


/home/mikolaj/a
/home/mikolaj/1/b
/home/mikolaj/2/c
/home/mikolaj/3/d
/home/mikolaj/3/4/e

1. We are in /home/mikolaj::

       echo findifile("b", "1;")
       1/b

   You are giving findfile() a relative path to search, so it is
returning a relative result.

2. We are in /home/mikolaj/2::

       echo findifile("b", "/home/mikolaj/1;")
       /home/mikolaj/1/b

   You are giving findfile() an absolute path to seach, so it is
returning an absolute result.

3. We are in /home/mikolaj/3/4::

       echo findifile("d", "/home/mikolaj/3/4;")
       /home/mikolaj/3/d

   Once again you supply an absolute path, so it returns an absolute result.

If you need to expand a relative result to its absolute path or strip
off portions of an absolute result, you can always use fnamemodify().
