filepath

I have two Bash scripts in the same folder (saved somewhere by the user who downloads the entire repository): script.sh is run by the user helper.sh is required and run by script.sh The two scripts should be in the same directory. I need the first script to call the second one, but there are two problems: Knowing the current working directory is useless to me, because I don't know how the user is executing the first script (could be with /usr/bin/script.sh , with ./script.sh , or it could be with ../Downloads/repo/scr/script.sh ) The script script.sh will be changing to a different directory

I'm trying to write a static member function in C# or find one in the .NET Framework that will re-case a file path to what the filesystem specifies. Example: string filepath = @"C:\temp.txt"; filepath = FileUtility.RecaseFilepath(filepath); // filepath = C:\Temp.TXT // Where the real fully qualified filepath in the NTFS volume is C:\Temp.TXT I've tried the following code below and many variants of it and it still doesn't work. I know Windows is case-insensitive in general but I need to pass these file paths to ClearCase which considers file path casing since it's a Unix and Windows application

I need to extract the name of the parent directory of a certain path. This is what it looks like: c:\stuff\directory_i_need\subdir\file I am modifying the content of the "file" with something that uses the directory_i_need name in it (not the path). I have created a function that will give me a list of all the files, and then... for path in file_list: #directory_name = os.path.dirname(path) # this is not what I need, that's why it is commented directories, files = path.split('\\') line_replace_add_directory = line_replace + directories # this is what I want to add in the text, with the

I recently installed phpunit on my server via the pear installer. When I go to run a test I get the following error: PHP Warning: require_once(PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 44 PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php' (include_path='.:/usr/bin/php') in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 44 After doing some searching, I tried making some modifications to the include_path in my php.ini file on the server. But that hasn't done a thing. Any idea what might be causing this? UPDATE: As of 2013

When writing a file path in python, I have seen several variations to write the syntax and I was curious if there is just one preferred way: the examples are: myFile= r"C:\My Documents\test\hello.txt" myFile = "C:\\My Documents\\test\\hello.txt" myFile = "C:/My Documents/test/hello.txt" If someone could provide some guidance, it would greatly be appreciated. Oh, just as a for info, my skill level in writing python is novice. The 1st and 2nd are completely equivalent. The third one is the shortest in terms of the character count. Also, forward slash is supported as path separator on platforms

How can I escape the backslashes in the string: 'pictures\12761_1.jpg' ? I know about raw string. How can I convert str to raw if I take 'pictures\12761_1.jpg' value from xml file for example? You can use the string .replace() method. >>> print r'pictures\12761_1.jpg'.replace("\\", "/") pictures/12761_1.jpg You can also use split/join: print "/".join(r'pictures\12761_1.jpg'.split("\\")) EDITED: The other way you may use is to prepare data during it's retrieving(e.g. the idea is to update string before assign to variable) - for example: f = open('c:\\tst.txt', "r") print f.readline().replace('\
