Linux : full path of a file

By Raaz -
Hello ,

Sometimes we need to have full or absolute path of file. And most of the times we used to pwd + filename manually.

But with google search I came across a command named as readlink.


readlink -f filename.txt

that will print complete path of filename along with filename append to it.

linuxmen@linuxmen-fresh:~/test/test1$ readlink -f ex4.js
/home/linuxmen/test/test1/ex4.js
linuxmen@linuxmen-fresh:~/test/test1$  

Note : make sure you are same directory where file resides else give relative path to file.

Hope it helps

Today while using grep command via rundeck I was through grep: unknown device method  error. And the reason is due to I am having ' - ' in my search pattern I was through this error. I mean search includes grep "-search.this" /path/to/file Then you may get error with grep. So remove ' - ' in pattern and repeat your search. grep "search.this" /path/to/file Hope that helps.

Its a lengthy way. So recently I have gone through few articles and with some R&D I have modified it as script and command-line argument support.So you can call the script with filename as argument.  So Lets do this!!!
