getting full path from relative path
given a relative path, how do i convert it into a full one. i.e. if i am in
/home/polypus and i am given foo/bar then to get a full path i can just concatinate it with pwd, but what if i am given "../mama" how do i programmatically convert: /home/polypus and ../mama into /home/mama in a way that will always work no matter what relative path is passed? my first thought is to just cd to the directory and set a variable cd $rev_path full_path=`pwd` cd $original_dir it seems there must be a unix command which does this more elegantly? thanks |
