How can I show the full path in terminal?

By default I only see the current folder
How can I toggle it so that I see the full path instead?
I say toggle - I'd like to switch on and off
Thanks
Omar

@arthur, awesome! thats better than what i was trying to do!
i only wanted to get the path so that i could cd to it
but then i have to add quotes around because of spaces
the method u suggested escapes all required chars and means i can just type cd and then drag the folder and then press enter
@barney: super helpful - i need to re-remember my unix commands. lol

  • How can I paste the full path name into the find file dialog?

    I've copied a full path name using CMD-C.
    Now I click on a link in some web page (does not matter which one) which lets me upload a file.
    The standard apple file selector dialog pops up (sorry don't know the official apple name for this dialog), to let me navigate and select the file.
    How can I paste the file name?  Or how can I tell the dialog popup to navigate to the file whose full path name is in the clipboard?

    Here is an image showing the file browser dialog I'm referring to.

  • How can I show the full RSS feed in Mail?

    is there any way of showing complete rss feeds in mail, because i find it annoying to have to keep on clicking read more????

    This is dependent on the RSS feed itself. Many feeds only include summaries of the articles, which is likely what's going on with the feeds you're subscribed to. If the feed does show the full text of the article, it'll show up in Mail.

  • How can I determine the full path and filename of the currently opened .ai file?

    In Photoshop, right clicking the file name of the opened file in progress shows an option "Reveal in Explorer" so I know exacly where the file was opened from.
    In Lightroom, it is displayed in the metadata.
    New to illustrator, I have looked at loads of menu options get cannot see how to find this information.
    Would be grateful for some help.

    +1 for what Larry said if you are on OS X. You can then scroll through and select any of the listed items and when clicked upon it will take you to that folder/location.
    Not that it would offer ease of use or a better method, but you could also use a simple script to retrieve this info as another alternative method:
    Example Structure:
    alert("File Path/Location:\n" + File.decode(app.activeDocument.fullName));
    Results the Below Alert:
    alert("File Path/Location:\n" + File.decode(app.activeDocument.fullName).split('/').join('\n/ '));
    Results the Below Alert:
    But again, not that this approach would offer ease of use or a better method, just another alternative method (It works in my quick tests).

  • Can not connect the database via query string (C#). The SQL Server Management Studio is showing the full path of a location instead of database name.

    I can not connect to the database via C#. The database is showing full path of the database file instead of the database name. See the pic: a database showing only name 'emart' and the other database showing the full path.
    : Robby

    Hi,
    According to your post, I know that the database name is showing file path of the database rather than the database name in SQL Server Management Studio. You were not able to
    establish a connection to the database using C#.
    As Olaf said, was any error message thrown out when the connection failed? How did you create these databases?
    You can use the following T-SQL to attach the database and see if the issue persists.
    CREATE DATABASE
    databasename
        ON (FILENAME = 'filepath _Data.mdf'),
        (FILENAME = 'filepath_Log.ldf')
    FOR ATTACH;
    Thanks.

  • How do I see the full path in Yosemite's spotlight?

    How do I see the full path in Yosemite's spotlight? (cmd shows only partial path)
    Seeing the full path would make work much easier finding my articles which I have put in distinct catalogues.

    CazooMAC,
    Holding ( Command ) to show the path of a file that is displayed at the bottom of the preview pane in Spotlight is the only way to display the path in the Spotlight app its self.
    If you hold ( Command ) and double click the item you are looking to get a path of it will open that items containing folder in Finder. From there you can get the full path using a bunch of different methods. An Example would be using Finders Get Info option. The Keyboard shortcut is ( Command ) ( I ).
    There is another thread that covers the topic of getting a clean path in Finder. Or basically a path that one doesn't have to type out manually, without those little arrows in between folders. It can be found here: How to get a clean file path in OS X Yosemite?
    My Suggestion to get a clean path there is as follows:
    Another way you can get the path, and yes I'm aware its cumbersome, is you can open the "Go to Folder" window and drag your folder or file into it and it will give you the path. Free of modifiers and without opening another application.
    I find it works best if when you start there is no Finder windows open. If you leave one open you just have to open another one as it doesn't let you drag and drop from the one with the "Go to Folder" window in it.
    Finder has to be Active > Select Go ( Menubar ) > Go to Folder...
    Or you can use the keyboard shortcut ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( G )
    At this point I like to clear out the address field as if there is anything in there it will stay.
    Next Open a new Finder window.
    Examples on how to: Select File > New Window, or the keyboard shortcut ( Command ) ( N )
    Find the File or Folder your interested in then drag and drop it in the Address Field of the "Go to Folder" window and it will give you the path.
    If you would like to send Apple feedback about this you can do so here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • How can I find the all path available for a MPLS VPN in SP network

    How can I find the all path available for a MPLS VPN in SP network between PE to PE and CE to CE?

    Hi There
    If we need to find all the available paths for a remote CE from a local PE it will depend upon whether its a RR or non-RR design. If the MP-iBGP deisgn is non-RR  the below vrf specific command
    sh ip bgp vpnv4 vrf "vrf_name"  will show us the MP-iBGP RT for that particular VPN. It will show us the next hop. Checking the route for same in the Global RT will show us the path(s) available for same ( load-balancing considered) .Then we can do a trace using the Local PE MP-iBGP loopback as source to remote PE's MP-iBGP loopback to get the physical Hops involved.
    However if the design is RR-based there might be complications involved when the RR is in the forwarding path ie we have NHS being set to RR-MP-iBGP loopback and the  trace using the Local PE MP-iBGP loopback as source to remote PE's MP-iBGP loopback will get us the physical Hops involved.
    If we have redundant RRs being used with NHS being set then the output of sh ip bgp vpnv4 vrf "vrf_name" will show us two different available paths for the remote CE destination but just one being used.
    RR-based design with no NHS being used will always to cater to single path for the remote CE detsination.
    So in any case the actual path used for the remote CE connectivity would be a single unless we are using load-balancing.
    Hope this helps you a bit on your requirement
    Thanks & Regards

  • How can i change the default path of installation

    I had creative cloud for a while. Today i changed the default installing folder, from the creative cloud settings/prefferences(can't remember) menu, from C to D. Then i uninstalled all the programs from adobe cs6 to take the new cc programs. When i want to reinstall adobe creative cloud it is installing on D and since there is no operating sistem on D i can't install the creative cloud. It keeps installing on D. How can i change the default path of installation if i uninstalled creative cloud?

    Or how can I change the prefered installation folder that can be changed from creative cloud menu/prefferences when i have uninstalled creative cloud?

  • How can I change the installation path  of JWS?

    I have to install the JRE 1.4.0_01 in silent mode on Windows XP. For the JRE I can set the installation path in the corresponding dialog and record it in an *.iss file. When starting the silent installation the JRE is correctly installed into this path but the Java Webstart installation procedure doesn't care about this path and installs JWS in 'D:\Programme\Java Web Start'.

  • How do I get the full path and filename of the current document?

    I'm writing a format plug-in. How do I obtain the full path and filename of the current image (document) from within my plug-in? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I actually just figured this out. For anyone else who would like to know, check out the propetizer sample code in the photoshop sdk. It makes a "filter" plug-in that just spits out all the properties of the document you could ever want to know about. The function I used to get the full path and filename of the current document is PIGetDocumentName(). I hope this helps someone eventually...

  • Can you specify the full path to jar in archive_jini

    can you put the full path to the client.jar file in the formsweb.cfg archive_jini parameter? like this:
    archive_jini=d:\something\somethingelse\client.jar
    or does it have to exist under %ORACLE_HOME%\forms\java ?

    None of the two. The path path is a relative web-url, for the content of archive_jni will be placed in the generated html which is "executed" by the users browser. So you either place your jar in $ORACLE_HOME/forms/java and put it without any path in the archive_jni-tag, or (more appreciated by myself), create a virtual directory (either by alias or by orion-web.xml) in your oas and place the jar in the according phycial path.

    Hi!
    You can set list "initial value" using When-Create-Record trigger.
    I.g.
    :<Block_name>.<list_item_name> := Get_List_Element_Value('<Block_name>.<list_item_name>', 1);
