test=`pwd`/folder1
> [command] $test
folder1
I'd rather avoid anything with regular expressions. Any ideas?

openscad-testrun
OPENSCAD-TESTRUN(1) General Commands Manual OPENSCAD-TESTRUN(1)
NAME
openscad-testrun - set up and run the OpenSCAD test suite
SYNOPSIS
openscad-testrun [options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the openscad-testrun command.
openscad-testrun is a script that sets up a directory in which the OpenSCAD test suite (implemented in ctest) can be run by creating sym-
links to the system locations of the input data, and runs it. The created directory is not removed, but will contain the test results in
addition to the symlinks.
It is required as the test suite in its original form expects all the test input and output data in relative locations, and the typical
user has no write access to where the data resides. Future changes to the test suite might make it more flexible, removing the need for
this script.
OPTIONS
-d directory, --directory directory
Set up the tests in a directory called directory. By default, this is generated from the current date and time like openscad-
test-2012-02-15_13:37.
-n, --dry-run
Do not run the test suite, just set it up.
All additional arguments are passed on to ctest.
AUTHOR
The OpenSCAD test suite was written by Clifford Wolf, Marius Kintel, and others. The openscad-testrun script was written by chrysn.
This manual page was written by chrysn <chrysn@fsfe.org>, for the Debian project (and may be used by others).
