The question isn't clear.

If you want to find the current directory, the pwd command will give it.

If you want to know if a path exists and is a directory, you can test it something like this (note that you probably mean /usr/, not /user/):
Code:
#!/bin/sh
DIR=/usr/bin/perl
if [ -d "$DIR" ]; then
    echo "Yes, $DIR is a directory"
fi
