Diddy · February 7, 2011, 6:32am

While i am trying to execute nawk in korn shell iam getting this error.

nawk: can't open file $directory../../../filename.

When the file is in home directory it is executing. But its not able to find file in other directory.

Thanks

I guess your relative//absolute path is wrong....
why $directory is not expanded?

other possibility is if directory name is a variable, please double check to make sure it's having trailing "/".
(Assuming the filename is just filename).
