例子:

absolute="/foo/bar"
current="/foo/baz/foo"

# Magic

relative="../../bar"

我如何创造魔法(希望不是太复杂的代码…)?


当前回答

#!/bin/sh

# Return relative path from canonical absolute dir path $1 to canonical
# absolute dir path $2 ($1 and/or $2 may end with one or no "/").
# Does only need POSIX shell builtins (no external command)
relPath () {
    local common path up
    common=${1%/} path=${2%/}/
    while test "${path#"$common"/}" = "$path"; do
        common=${common%/*} up=../$up
    done
    path=$up${path#"$common"/}; path=${path%/}; printf %s "${path:-.}"
}

# Return relative path from dir $1 to dir $2 (Does not impose any
# restrictions on $1 and $2 but requires GNU Core Utility "readlink"
# HINT: busybox's "readlink" does not support option '-m', only '-f'
#       which requires that all but the last path component must exist)
relpath () { relPath "$(readlink -m "$1")" "$(readlink -m "$2")"; }

上面的shell脚本是受pini的启发(谢谢!)它会触发一个错误 在Stack Overflow的语法高亮显示模块中(至少在我的预览中是这样) 帧)。因此,如果高亮显示不正确,请忽略。

一些注意事项:

Removed errors and improved code without significantly increasing code length and complexity Put functionality into functions for easiness of use Kept functions POSIX compatible so that they (should) work with all POSIX shells (tested with dash, bash, and zsh in Ubuntu Linux 12.04) Used local variables only to avoid clobbering global variables and polluting the global name space Both directory paths DO NOT need to exist (requirement for my application) Pathnames may contain spaces, special characters, control characters, backslashes, tabs, ', ", ?, *, [, ], etc. Core function "relPath" uses POSIX shell builtins only but requires canonical absolute directory paths as parameters Extended function "relpath" can handle arbitrary directory paths (also relative, non-canonical) but requires external GNU core utility "readlink" Avoided builtin "echo" and used builtin "printf" instead for two reasons: Due to conflicting historical implementations of builtin "echo" it behaves differently in different shells -> POSIX recommends that printf is preferred over echo. Builtin "echo" of some POSIX shells will interpret some backslash sequences and thus corrupt pathnames containing such sequences To avoid unnecessary conversions, pathnames are used as they are returned and expected by shell and OS utilities (e.g. cd, ln, ls, find, mkdir; unlike python's "os.path.relpath" which will interpret some backslash sequences) Except for the mentioned backslash sequences the last line of function "relPath" outputs pathnames compatible to python: path=$up${path#"$common"/}; path=${path%/}; printf %s "${path:-.}" Last line can be replaced (and simplified) by line printf %s "$up${path#"$common"/}" I prefer the latter because Filenames can be directly appended to dir paths obtained by relPath, e.g.: ln -s "$(relpath "<fromDir>" "<toDir>")<file>" "<fromDir>" Symbolic links in the same dir created with this method do not have the ugly "./" prepended to the filename. If you find an error please contact linuxball (at) gmail.com and I'll try to fix it. Added regression test suite (also POSIX shell compatible)

其他回答

这个脚本只对路径名有效。它不需要任何文件存在。如果传递的路径不是绝对的,那么行为就有点不寻常,但是如果两条路径都是相对的,那么应该能正常工作。

我只在OS X上测试过,所以可能不太便携。

#!/bin/bash
set -e
declare SCRIPT_NAME="$(basename $0)"
function usage {
    echo "Usage: $SCRIPT_NAME <base path> <target file>"
    echo "       Outputs <target file> relative to <base path>"
    exit 1
}

if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then usage; fi

declare base=$1
declare target=$2

declare -a target_part=()

可悲的是,Mark Rushakoff的答案(现在删除了-它引用了这里的代码)在适应时似乎不能正确工作:

source=/home/part2/part3/part4
target=/work/proj1/proj2

注释中概述的思想可以经过改进,使其在大多数情况下正确工作。我假设脚本有一个源参数(您所在的位置)和一个目标参数(您想要到达的位置),这两个参数要么是绝对路径名,要么是相对路径名。如果一个是绝对的,另一个是相对的,最简单的方法是用当前工作目录作为相对名称的前缀——但是下面的代码没有这样做。


当心

下面的代码接近正确工作,但不是很正确。

丹尼斯·威廉姆森(Dennis Williamson)的评论中提到了一个问题。 还有一个问题,这种纯文本的路径名处理,你可能会被奇怪的符号链接搞得一团糟。 该代码不处理'xyz/./pqr'等路径中的零散'点'。 该代码不处理'xyz/../pqr'等路径中的流浪'双点'。 简单地说:代码没有删除前导'。/'从路径。

Dennis的代码更好,因为它修复了1和5,但也有相同的问题2,3,4。 因此,请使用Dennis的代码(并在此之前对其进行投票)。

注意:POSIX提供了一个系统调用realpath()来解析路径名,这样路径名中就没有符号链接了。将其应用于输入名称,然后使用Dennis的代码每次都会给出正确的答案。编写包装realpath()的C代码很简单——我已经做过了——但我不知道有什么标准实用程序可以这样做。)


为此,我发现Perl比shell更容易使用,尽管bash对数组有很好的支持,并且可能也可以做到这一点——这是读者的练习。因此,给定两个兼容的名称,将它们分别分解为组件:

Set the relative path to empty. While the components are the same, skip to the next. When corresponding components are different or there are no more components for one path: If there are no remaining source components and the relative path is empty, add "." to the start. For each remaining source component, prefix the relative path with "../". If there are no remaining target components and the relative path is empty, add "." to the start. For each remaining target component, add the component to the end of the path after a slash.

因此:

#!/bin/perl -w

use strict;

# Should fettle the arguments if one is absolute and one relative:
# Oops - missing functionality!

# Split!
my(@source) = split '/', $ARGV[0];
my(@target) = split '/', $ARGV[1];

my $count = scalar(@source);
   $count = scalar(@target) if (scalar(@target) < $count);
my $relpath = "";

my $i;
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
{
    last if $source[$i] ne $target[$i];
}

$relpath = "." if ($i >= scalar(@source) && $relpath eq "");
for (my $s = $i; $s < scalar(@source); $s++)
{
    $relpath = "../$relpath";
}
$relpath = "." if ($i >= scalar(@target) && $relpath eq "");
for (my $t = $i; $t < scalar(@target); $t++)
{
    $relpath .= "/$target[$t]";
}

# Clean up result (remove double slash, trailing slash, trailing slash-dot).
$relpath =~ s%//%/%;
$relpath =~ s%/$%%;
$relpath =~ s%/\.$%%;

print "source  = $ARGV[0]\n";
print "target  = $ARGV[1]\n";
print "relpath = $relpath\n";

面对奇怪的输入,这个Perl脚本在Unix上运行得相当彻底(它没有考虑Windows路径名的所有复杂性)。它使用模块Cwd及其函数realpath解析存在的名称的真实路径,并对不存在的路径进行文本分析。在所有情况下,除了一种情况,它产生的输出都与Dennis的脚本相同。越轨的情况是:

source   = home/part1/part2
target   = .
relpath1 = ../../..
relpath2 = ../../../.

这两个结果是等价的,只是不完全相同。(输出来自测试脚本的一个轻微修改版本——下面的Perl脚本只是输出答案,而不是像上面的脚本那样输出输入和答案。)现在,我应该排除无效的答案吗?也许……

该脚本仅对绝对路径或没有绝对路径的相对路径的输入提供正确的结果。或者. .:

#!/bin/bash

# usage: relpath from to

if [[ "$1" == "$2" ]]
then
    echo "."
    exit
fi

IFS="/"

current=($1)
absolute=($2)

abssize=${#absolute[@]}
cursize=${#current[@]}

while [[ ${absolute[level]} == ${current[level]} ]]
do
    (( level++ ))
    if (( level > abssize || level > cursize ))
    then
        break
    fi
done

for ((i = level; i < cursize; i++))
do
    if ((i > level))
    then
        newpath=$newpath"/"
    fi
    newpath=$newpath".."
done

for ((i = level; i < abssize; i++))
do
    if [[ -n $newpath ]]
    then
        newpath=$newpath"/"
    fi
    newpath=$newpath${absolute[i]}
done

echo "$newpath"

假设您已经安装了:bash、pwd、dirname、echo;relpath是

#!/bin/bash
s=$(cd ${1%%/};pwd); d=$(cd $2;pwd); b=; while [ "${d#$s/}" == "${d}" ]
do s=$(dirname $s);b="../${b}"; done; echo ${b}${d#$s/}

我从pini和其他一些想法中得到了答案

注意:这要求两个路径都是现有文件夹。文件将无法工作。

我需要这样的东西,但它也解决了符号链接。我发现pwd有一个-P标志用于此目的。附加了我的脚本的一个片段。它在shell脚本的函数中,因此是$1和$2。结果值是从START_ABS到END_ABS的相对路径,位于UPDIRS变量中。为了执行pwd -P,将脚本cd放入每个参数目录,这也意味着将处理相对路径参数。干杯,吉姆

SAVE_DIR="$PWD"
cd "$1"
START_ABS=`pwd -P`
cd "$SAVE_DIR"
cd "$2"
END_ABS=`pwd -P`

START_WORK="$START_ABS"
UPDIRS=""

while test -n "${START_WORK}" -a "${END_ABS/#${START_WORK}}" '==' "$END_ABS";
do
    START_WORK=`dirname "$START_WORK"`"/"
    UPDIRS=${UPDIRS}"../"
done
UPDIRS="$UPDIRS${END_ABS/#${START_WORK}}"
cd "$SAVE_DIR"
