I'm trying to figure out how to get the full path of a file. I found that typing:
echo $0 THEN I DRAG THE FILE INTO THE TERMINAL

That gets the full path but I can't figure out how to put that in a variable. I'm trying to take a file and drag it onto a script or automation and have it put that file's full path into a variable so that variable can go into my command line. This is what I have so far.

#!/bin/bash
name= $0
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i "$name" -acodec mp3 -ab 192 -b 450kb -r 29.97 -s 320X240 -aspect 4:3 -ar 22050 "/Users/SteveComputer/Desktop/blah.mov"
echo $name

In reality I would like to control click on the file and have a variable get that full path but that is next. The $name above is the thing I want to be the full path of the file I drag onto the automation.

Thanks.

If $0 is a file in the current directory, just prepend the current directory to it...
pathname=$PWD/$0

The echo "$0" gives the running script name with absolute path if started from another directory else it will just give "./<script_name>" where "." represents the current directory from where the script is running
