Since $0 holds the full path of the script that is running, you can use dirname against it to get the path of the script: #!/bin/bash script_name=$0 script_full_path=$(dirname “$0”) echo “script_name: $script_name” echo “full path: $script_full_path” so if you for example store it in /tmp/a.sh then you will see an output like: $ /tmp/a.sh script_name: … Read more
A long read, but worth reading if you are in this domain: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Extract: The Windows API has many functions that also have Unicode versions to permit an extended-length path for a maximum total path length of 32,767 characters. This type of path is composed of components separated by backslashes, each up to the value … Read more
\**\ This pattern is often used in Copy Task for recursive folder tree traversal. Basically it means that all files with extension config would be processed from the all subdirectories of $(Services_Jobs_Drop_Path) path. MSDN, Using Wildcards to Specify Items: You can use the **, *, and ? wildcard characters to specify a group of files … Read more
Hmm… the path/filepath package has Abs() which does what I need (so far) though it’s a bit inconvenient: absPath, _ := filepath.Abs(“../mypackage/data/file.txt”) Then I use absPath to load the file and it works fine. Note that, in my case, the data files are in a package separate from the main package from which I’m running … Read more
In R, you’ve to escape the \ with \\ So, your path should be: x <- “C:\\Users\\jd\\Documents\\folder\\file.txt” To get that, you can do: x <- readline() then, at the prompt, paste your unmodified path (CTRL+V then ENTER) Finally, to change \\ to / everywhere, you could use gsub, once again by escaping the \, but … Read more
replace all the \ with \\. it’s trying to escape the next character in this case the U so to insert a \ you need to insert an escaped \ which is \\
The problem with deeply nested folders on Windows has been mostly solved starting with npm version 3.x. According to npm: .npm@3 makes the install “maximally flat” by hoisting everything it can to the top level node_modules. This means nesting only occurs on conflicts and as such, trees should never get very deep. As such, the … Read more
You can use System.IO.Path.GetFileName to do this. E.g., string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(dir); foreach(string file in files) Console.WriteLine(Path.GetFileName(file)); While you could use FileInfo, it is much more heavyweight than the approach you are already using (just retrieving file paths). So I would suggest you stick with GetFiles unless you need the additional functionality of the FileInfo … Read more
Using Boost.Filesystem: boost::filesystem::path p(“C:\\folder\\foo.txt”); boost::filesystem::path dir = p.parent_path();
Only as part of Boost.Filesystem library. Here is an example: #include <iostream> #include <boost/filesystem.hpp> namespace fs = boost::filesystem; int main () { fs::path dir (“/tmp”); fs::path file (“foo.txt”); fs::path full_path = dir / file; std::cout << full_path << std::endl; return 0; } Here is an example of compiling and running (platform specific): $ g++ ./test.cpp … Read more
