Unity: Get resource path

I work in Unity3D.

I use Resources.LoadAll(path); to load all items in the folder and subfolders. After I do this I would like to get the subfolder's name of the objects, or the complete path. Is this possible?

And don't suggest AssetDatabase, because it is an editor class, and I need it in my build.

Thanks in advance.

Resources.Load() method returns the asset at path if it can be found and if its type matches the requested generic parameter type, otherwise it returns null.

// Loading assets from the Resources folder using the generic Resources.Load<T>(path) method
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        //Load a text file (Assets/Resources/Text/textFile01.txt)
        var textFile = Resources.Load<TextAsset>("Text/textFile01");

        //Load text from a JSON file (Assets/Resources/Text/jsonFile01.json)
        var jsonTextFile = Resources.Load<TextAsset>("Text/jsonFile01");
        //Then use JsonUtility.FromJson<T>() to deserialize jsonTextFile into an object

        //Load a Texture (Assets/Resources/Textures/texture01.png)
        var texture = Resources.Load<Texture2D>("Textures/texture01");

        //Load a Sprite (Assets/Resources/Sprites/sprite01.png)
        var sprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>("Sprites/sprite01");

        //Load an AudioClip (Assets/Resources/Audio/audioClip01.mp3)
        var audioClip = Resources.Load<AudioClip>("Audio/audioClip01");
    }
}

What I do is write out a "Resources/manifest.txt" file in the editor that I load in the game if I need to find files/subfolders in the Resources folder at runtime. Creating this manifest.txt can be automated in the editor so that it's always up to date.

Then at run time instead of Resources.LoadAll, I load the manifest.txt, look for the folder/asset in there and Resources.Load it.
