__PATH__ like __FILE__?

Hello.
I'm rather new to Ruby, so please bare with me. I just want to know if
there is anything similar to __FILE__ but which represents either the
path to the directory which __FILE__ lies in, or the __FILE__ including
the full path to the file?

Welcome to Ruby then.

Just ask Ruby to expand it for you:

File.expand_path(__FILE__)

Hope that helps.

You have to use the File.expand_path to do this :

File.expand_path(__FILE__)
File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__))

Deniz;

Take a look at the 'pathname' library included with ruby:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/pathname/rdoc/classes/Pat...

You should be able to get all that information by combining it with __FILE__:

path = Pathname.new(__FILE__)
p path.dirname
p path.expand_path

Or:
File.expand_path(__FILE__+'/..')

I suggested the same a while back as __DIR__. I too think it would be
a good thing to have.

Or even:

File.expand_path('..', __FILE__)

Oh, the choices!
