[Solved] Howto change subdirectory easily using cd
Hi all,

how to change the path easily from
Code:
/u01/oracle/oradata/newdb/tab >cd olddb
/u01/oracle/oradata/olddb/tab >

or
Code:
/u01/oracle/oradata/newdb/tab >cd u05
/u05/oracle/oradata/newdb/tab >

I am lazy for typing the abs. path again...
As I know there is some "tips" in doing this.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I guess this isn't water proof, but You could try something like this, using shell substitution (in bash not sure about ksh or others),

Code:
cd ${PWD/newdb/olddb}
cd ${PWD/u01/u05}

but as You can see, is could easily happen that strings match in more than one place...



Best regards,
Lakris
