Hi,
I have a script that at one point prints to a file as follows:
printf -- $2 > ~/.mydir/$1
The idea is to print to a hidden directory .mydir in my home directory. I've already sanitized the inputs and $1 is in the format
path1/path2/filename
and $2 is some user input.
When I run this on my Mac, there's no problem and it works great. When I upload it to the system where I eventually intend to use it, however, it doesn't work quite right. It writes the correct user input to a file located at:
my_present_directory/~/.mydir/filename
where my_present_directory is wherever I upload the script file to. It's actually making a directory called "~".
Any ideas on how to get this work work as intended?
Thanks!
