Hey Erich,
Your expand path properly handles the './', and also, another thing I
discovered is that with my modified expandpath, it will not always get rid of
redundant slashes:
my modified expandpath():
//foo/bar = /foo/bar
but then:
/foo = //foo
!?
Your expandpath seems to do what it's supposed to, but the only exception is
that it doesn't retain the slash when $1 is just a slash:
`expandpath2 /` = ""
Nothing. But you're also saying that my expandpath does that too? I haven't
been able to replicate that.
Anyhow, if you can keep the slash when just '/' is passed, then that's all
that's needed.

I compared your rewritten expandpath with my latest version
expandpath2 () {
case $1 in
/*) echo $1 | sed 's!//*!/!g; s!/*$!!' ;;
*) echo `pwd`/`echo $1 | sed 's!//*!/!g;
s!^\./*!!g'` | sed 's!/*$!!' ;;
esac
}
running expandpath on ./foo////bar///baz////
expandpath = /tmp/./foo/bar/baz
running expandpath2 on ./foo////bar///baz////
expandpath2 = /tmp/foo/bar/baz
hit any key to continue...
cheers
Erich
