Find a File path

[Jring04]

Hi!

I need to find the directory path for a slink file and mkpath the same somewhere else. If /Dir1/Dir2/Dir3/SLink is the actual path, I need to fetch /Dir1/Dir2/Dir3 and create a directory structure (I do not want to make a separate Slink folder) inside another path.

How do I do this?

Thank you in advance.

Have a look at File::Spec::Link Perl Module

Hi jring,

You need to have a look at the dirname() and basename() functions.

dirname() returns the directory portion of a full path, like this

$d = dirname('/some/path/or/other/to/a/file');

then $d will contain '/some/path/or/other/to/a/'

basename works the other way around

$f = basename('/some/path/or/other/to/a/file');

$f will contain 'file'.
