Hi all,
A check to see if a pathname is "relative" or complete in some of the shell
scripts works (seems to work)
but I am not clear about the ?! part in the expresion, and also it seems
that they do go together, because leaving either the ? or the ! out screw up
the results.
I'll appreciat your help in getting to understand this
thanks.
$ perl -n -e '
chomp;
if (m/^(?!\/)/) {
print;
print " is a relative dir ..\n"
} else {
print;
print " is a full dir\n"
} ' < in.txt
/tmp is a full dir
../example is a relative dir ..
.../dir/example is a relative dir ..
$
$
$ cat in.txt
/tmp
../example
.../dir/example
$
$
