absolute-path

How to get the absolute path for a given relative path programmatically in Linux? Incase of Windows we have the _fullpath() API. In other words, I mean what is analogous API to _fullpath of Windows in Linux? unwind As Paul mentioned, use realpath() . Please note though, that since many file systems in Linux support hard links , any given directory can have a number of different absolute paths. Check out the realpath function. #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <linux/limits.h> int main() { char resolved_path[PATH_MAX]; realpath("../../", resolved_path); printf("\n%s\n",resolved

I have a folder with ten files in it which I want to loop through. When I print out the name of the file my code works fine: import os indir = '/home/des/test' for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(indir): for f in filenames: print(f) Which prints: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 But if I try to open the file in the loop I get an IO error: import os indir = '/home/des/test' for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(indir): for f in filenames: log = open(f, 'r') Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/des/my_python_progs/loop_over_dir.py", line 6, in <module> log = open(f, 'r') IOError: [Errno 2] No such

I'm not sure if these paths are duplicates. Given the relative path, how do I determine absolute path using a shell script? Example: relative path: /x/y/../../a/b/z/../c/d absolute path: /a/b/c/d DVK From this source comes: #!/bin/bash # Assume parameter passed in is a relative path to a directory. # For brevity, we won't do argument type or length checking. ABS_PATH=`cd "$1"; pwd` # double quotes for paths that contain spaces etc... echo "Absolute path: $ABS_PATH" You can also do a Perl one-liner, e.g. using Cwd::abs_path The most reliable method I've come across in unix is readlink -f : $

I can't believe PHP doesn't have an easy solution of this simple matter. ASP.NET has a ~ sign that cares of this issue and starts everything from root level. Here's my problem: localhost/MySite -->Admin -- Edit.php -->Class -- class.EditInfo.php -->Texts -- MyInfo.txt --ShowInfo.php Inside class.EditInfo.php I am accessing MyInfo.txt so I defined a relative path "../Texts/MyInfo.txt". Then I created an object of EditInfo in Admin/Edit.php and accessed Texts/MyInfo.txt it worked fine. But now I have to create an object of EditInfo in ShowInfo.php and access Texts/MyInfo.txt and here's the

I have a variable on my site called $basePath which is set as: $basePath = '/Systems/dgw/'; I am using it on all my css, js and images tags as so (shortened for better visibility): <link href="<?php echo $basePath; ?>include/assets/css/bootstrap.min.css"> I have no problem with those includes and they work fine in wherever file and in whatever folder I am. I have a certain included page which has the following line: <img src="<?php echo $basePath; ?>images/new_logo.png" alt="logo"/> And the image shows just fine. The line after it states: <?php include($basePath.'include/assets/common

I'm trying to do something like a C #include "filename.c" , or PHP include(dirname(__FILE__)."filename.php") but in javascript. I know I can do this if I can get the URL a js file was loaded from (e.g. the URL given in the src attribute of the tag). Is there any way for the javascript to know that? Alternatively, is there any good way to load javascript dynamically from the same domain (without knowing the domain specifically)? For example, lets say we have two identical servers (QA and production) but they clearly have different URL domains. Is there a way to do something like include("myLib

I have two files in two different directories, one is '/home/test/first/first.pdf' , the other is '/home/text/second/second.pdf' . I use following code to compress them: import zipfile, StringIO buffer = StringIO.StringIO() first_path = '/home/test/first/first.pdf' second_path = '/home/text/second/second.pdf' zip = zipfile.ZipFile(buffer, 'w') zip.write(first_path) zip.write(second_path) zip.close() After I open the zip file that I created, I have a home folder in it, then there are two sub-folders in it, first and second , then the pdf files. I don't know how to include only two pdf files
