Very simple question: RudiC able to understand the issue and Aia didn't, why?

I appreciate his helping nature and time he spent for me. But its not good to recollect the same thing again and again.

I really like people here because of their helping nature and patience to answer silly things even.

I am really sorry if you think I was curt.

Thanks & Regards,

I have followed this thread from the beginning, and I have seen how RudiC has tried to coach you all along, I could have intervene at any point, but I did not want to confuse you and make RudiC work harder, since it was not a trivial thing what you were asking.

However, in post #21 you added:

in this case pwd is not working.
I want to give file name with current directory path
what to do?
pwd is a built-in command of many shells, we don't know how is not working for you, we don't know what you have done with the information given to you, we don't know what case are you talking about by just reference. Anything else it would be guessing, regardless of previous thread or posts.

My questions were there to give you the opportunity of responding to this lack of current information. Especially, what does pwd has to do with it and what were you trying to do, currently.

My suggestion to you would be to leave any kind of frustration aside and recognize that we are here to help you, if we can (most of the time depends on you), whether we get it or not.

       -t, --trace
	   Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.

	   No operation mode. Actual execution of the essential shell commands which would be executed is suppressed.

       -w, --warning

	#    RPM spec-file
	%install
	    shtool subst -v -n 
		-e 's;^(prefix=).*;1 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_prefix};g' 
		-e 's;^(sysconfdir=).*;1 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_prefix}/etc;g' 
		`find . -name Makefile -print`
	    make install

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
