Returns the name or path of the specified process.
Name := ProcessGetName(PIDOrName) Path := ProcessGetPath(PIDOrName)
If omitted, the script's own process is used. Otherwise, specify either a number (the PID) or a process name:
PID: The Process ID, which is a number that uniquely identifies one specific process (this number is valid only during the lifetime of that process). The PID of a newly launched process can be determined via the Run function. Similarly, the PID of a window can be determined with WinGetPID. ProcessExist can also be used to discover a PID.
Name: The name of a process is usually the same as its executable (without path), e.g. notepad.exe or winword.exe. Since a name might match multiple running processes, only the first process will be operated upon. The name is not case-sensitive.
Type: String
ProcessGetName returns the name of the specified process. For example: notepad.exe.
ProcessGetPath returns the path of the specified process. For example: C:\Windows\notepad.exe.
A TargetError is thrown if the process could not be found.
An OSError is thrown if the name/path could not be retrieved.
