pwd - Return the absolute path of the current working directory
SYNOPSIS
pwd
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
Returns the absolute path name of the current working directory.
EXAMPLE
Sometimes it is useful to change to a known directory when running some external command using exec, but it is important to keep the appli-
cation usually running in the directory that it was started in (unless the user specifies otherwise) since that minimizes user confusion.
The way to do this is to save the current directory while the external command is being run:
set tarFile [file normalize somefile.tar]
set savedDir [pwd]
cd /tmp
exec tar -xf $tarFile
cd $savedDir

break(3tcl) Tcl Built-In Commands break(3tcl)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
break - Abort looping command
SYNOPSIS
break
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command such as for or foreach or while. It returns a TCL_BREAK code, which
causes a break exception to occur. The exception causes the current script to be aborted out to the innermost containing loop command,
which then aborts its execution and returns normally. Break exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, such as the catch com-
mand, Tk event bindings, and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies.
EXAMPLE
Print a line for each of the integers from 0 to 5:
for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} {
if {$x > 5} {
break
}
puts "x is $x"
}

Hi Folks,
In a Unix (ksh) script, is there a way to determine the current working directory path of another logged-in user? Of course, I can use "pwd" to find my own path. But, how do I find it for another active user?
Thanks for any input you can provide. LY (6 Replies)

Hi--
I'm trying to use the cp command, and I keep getting there is no such directory. But I've checked, and the directory is certainly there.
Please keep in mind this is OS X, 10.4.4 to be exact.
Here's my output:

Assume that you want to set your prompt to display the current working directory followed by a percent symbol and then a space. The command pwd can be used to display this information, so explain why the following command does not have the expected result:
set prompt=" `pwd`'%' "
Its a... (7 Replies)
Hi,
Is there a command that tells you right away the current working directory? I know the command "pwd", but that one gives the full path.
if pwd gives me:
/a/b/c/d/ggg/HERE
I want something that will give me:
HERE
Thanks,

I decided I wanted to have the cd command print my full working directory after each cd command, so I put this cw command in .bashrc as a function.
cw ()
{
cd "${1}"
pwd
}While this works I would like pwd to print escapes when a space in a directory name exists. This would... (7 Replies)
