Re: path to local file as a variable

There is no way how to get the full path. It would be considered a vulnerability if there were. Sounds a bit like XY problem - why do you need the full path?

Thanks, I want the full path to pass as a command line argument to a bash script that processes the large files that are already on my server.	[reply]

Where will the bash script run? On the server? Then you do not need the local path anymore, you need the server path. Or do I miss something?	[reply]

Files already exist on same machine that will run bash script; yes you are right, I need the server path. Path is 'almost' identical - I was planning to use sed to correct it. Files are not visible to intra/internet they are on a afp://shared volume I will contemplate the X-Y hint :-) thanks Mark	[reply]
