All paths are relative to the project folder, for example: "Assets/MyTextures/hello.png".

static function Example()
{
    var t: String = AssetDatabase.AssetPathToGUID("Assets/texture.jpg");
    Debug.Log(t);
}

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    [MenuItem("AssetDatabase/AssetPathToGUID")]
    static void Doit()
    {
        string t = AssetDatabase.AssetPathToGUID("Assets/texture.jpg");
        Debug.Log(t);
    }
}

If the asset does not exist AssetPathToGUID will return nothing.
