Presuming I have a file setEnvVars.sh that I wish to source,

How do I, within the script, determine the actual directory within which

$0 etc
thanks, M
If I understand your question correctly, the '$_' variable should do
the trick.
doesn't seem to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/models-3/CMAQ-4.5/scripts$ head ../defineEnvVars
#!/bin/bash
echo $_
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/models-3/CMAQ-4.5/scripts$ . ../defineEnvVars
../defineEnvVars
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/models-3/CMAQ-4.5/scripts$ cd cctm
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/models-3/CMAQ-4.5/scripts/cctm$ . ../../defineEnvVars
cctm
what I am trying to do in the script is get it to work out the directory
in which defineEnvVars live, irrespective of which directory I am when I
run
. [path]/defineEnvVars
thanks, michael
I think you might want this.
appdirname=`pwd`
rcname=backup/include
echo $appdirname"/"$rcname
But the following would be better if all the contents of the app are in
the same directory...
rcname=`pwd`/backup/include
echo $rcname
Hope this helps....
