Hi List,
Just a simple question.
I have developed a shell script that, among other things, shows the filename
that was specified as a parameter.
However, when I invoke the script and the file is located in the current working
directory, it just shows: ./my_input_filename
I'd like the script to show the full path name of the input file. I wonder
whether there is or not an equivalent to %~f1 (Windows Batch file programming).
This parameter extension expands parameter %1 ($1 in shell scripting jargon) to
a
Fully qualified path name.
Any hint would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Aitor.
You could always do it relative to the current working path, i.e.
"`pwd`/./my_input_filename".
There's another way to do this by determining the absolute path of the
shell script, but that was a bit more complicated and I don't remember
where the documentation for that is right now..
