Perhaps, but
realpathisn't by default on my mint machine. I figuredreadlinkas part of the GNU tools, would be more common. Commented Sep 16, 2012 at 20:36 -
How about printing fullpaths of all files ending with certain extension? I've tried
readline -f *.c(all C-source files), but it didn't seem to work? Commented Sep 17, 2012 at 0:01 -
Combine it with find:
find . -name '*.c' -exec readlink -f {} \;Commented Sep 17, 2012 at 0:04
echo /usr/temp/foo/bar.txt...?echo pwd ...for all 1000 of thosebashalready has a variable$PWDthat stores the current working directory.
