Subject: Changing to new directory.
Hi all,
Thanks for all your help with previous questions I've had. What I need
to figure out now is how I can strip the actual directory from the
following pathname that I have stored in a variable :
(Just one sample of what I have but there will be different variations
of the $pathname below)
$pathname = /home/username/folders/test/bar.h
So what I really need to be able to do is remove the filename from the
end of the path and once I have the new path I want to be able to
change to that directory.
So I want to change to say '/home/username/folders/test'
I don't have any idea how to do this so any help would be grateful.
Thanx,
YM
