General :: Forcing An Absolute Path Where A Relative Path Is Expected

Feb 21, 2011

I have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.

Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.

If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.

Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?

General :: Change Absolute Path To Relative Path?

May 31, 2011

Current script:-

prefix=user@my-server:
find . -depth -type d -name .git -printf '%h�' | while read -d "" path ; do (
cd "$path" || exit $?

[code]....

How shall i go about changing the absolute path to relative path, so that /home/git/mirror/android/adb/ndk.git gets converted to /mirror/android/adb/ndk.git //echo <command> "$prefix$PWD.git" ?? - anything for relative path?

Programming :: Reading The Absolute File-path As Sorted?

Jun 13, 2010

I wanted to read out the absolute file-path (filename) as sorted in a folder (on Linux). The reading the file-paths is ok but I have problems in sorting.

Code:

selectedDirectory = fl_dir_chooser ("Select Imagedirectory:",NULL,0); //This is just a widget to show the folder.
DIR *d;
dirent *de;

[code]....

The files -105.dcm, -106.dcm, -107.dcm lie in the folder at the bottom and -36.dcm, -37.dcm- at the top. The program compares 1 and 3 of 105 and 37, 1 is lesser than 3, then prints out first, but does not know that 105 is three digits and 37 is two digits.

General :: Move A File To Some Path And Create That Path When It Doesn't Exist?

Oct 8, 2010

I use this command:

Code:

find ./ -atime +360

to figure out the files that haven't been accessed since 360 days. The command above will return results like this:

Code:

/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc

I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:

Code:

mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext

But I want the executed command to create this path

Code:

/old-files/uploads/2010/02/

If it doesn't exist.

Fedora :: Add Path In .bashrc By Commenting Out Old Path And Adding New One - Command Source ~/bashrc

Jun 14, 2011

When I add some path in .bashrc by commenting out old path and adding new one like this:

#EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/old_play
EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/play
EXPORT PATH=$PATH:HOME_PLAY

After saving above changes, I enter the command: source ~/.bashrc Now if I do echo $PATH, the path shows both the old PLAY_HOME and new PLAY_HOME. This is really bad and messes up a lot of things in my project. This problem only goes away if I logout or reboot, a rather very long process. What is happening is that the old path is added to new path element and the old path includes the old path element you want to remove.

Fedora :: 12 And VMTools - The Path "" Is Not Valid Path To The Gcc Binary

Mar 23, 2010

running Windows 7 64bit with VMware Workstation 7.01-build 227600. I have some knowledge of Linux, I have installed f12 and have updated the system as of 03/22/2010. All updates completed successfully.

1) How do I install VMTools on the f12 (after mounting the CD/DVD tool package)

2) How do I update the gcc files it says are dependencies?

Here's what I get on installation:Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...

make
gcc
kernel headers of the running kernel

and then I am prompted for this input from the install script:

Searching for GCC...
The path "" is not valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [yes]

and this is where I get stuck. How do I get around this or satisfy the requirements for the install?

General :: Why Is It Bad To Add '.' To PATH?

Aug 26, 2010

I've read one explanation saying it can allow malicious executables that are in the cwd to run in place of similarly named built-ins and core utilities.For something to wreak true havoc, wouldn't this only apply to root? And in any case, if '.' were appended to PATH instead of prepended, shouldn't that circumvent this "replacement" attack, since PATH's directories are scanned in order? (Aren't they scanned in order?)Are there any other issues besides this one?

If I try "shutdown" as a normal user on Debian it give the "command not found" error. OK it's not in my PATH. But if I "sudo shutdown" it works. Somehow sudo seems to change my PATH.

Do the same in Slackware however and sudo makes no difference, I get "command not found" each time.

General :: Getting Duplicated Entries In $PATH?

Apr 28, 2010

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic). And, my ~/.pam_environment looks like the following.

PATH DEFAULT=${PATH}:~/Adobe/Reader9/bin:~/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux
GIT_EDITOR DEFAULT=vim
MANPATH DEFAULT=${MANPATH}:~/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/man
INFOPATH DEFAULT=${INFOPATH}:~/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/info

But, echo $PATH returns me duplicated entries as the following.

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:~/Adobe/Reader9/bin:~/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux:~/Adobe/Reader9/bin:~/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux

I've tried replacing DEFAULT by OVERRIDE in my ~/.pam_environment file. But, that didn't help.
