I am working on a script that checks two arguments at the command line. The first argument is a search pattern, the second can be a file or a directory, if it is a file a second script is called that checks it for the search pattern. If the second argument is a directory, it checks for the search pattern in all files in the that directory.
The script works ok if the second argument is a sub-directory of the working directory of the script. The issue occurs when the script needs to change directories. I don't think it likes the "/" if I specify a directory, but i'm stuck as far figuring out what to do next.
Here is the snippet of code I am having the trouble with:
