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

我使用的macOS默认情况下没有realpath命令,所以我做了一个纯bash函数来计算它。

#!/bin/bash

##
# print a relative path from "source folder" to "target file"
#
# params:
#  $1 - target file, can be a relative path or an absolute path.
#  $2 - source folder, can be a relative path or an absolute path.
#
# test:
#  $ mkdir -p ~/A/B/C/D; touch ~/A/B/C/D/testfile.txt; touch ~/A/B/testfile.txt
#
#  $ getRelativePath ~/A/B/C/D/testfile.txt  ~/A/B
#  $ C/D/testfile.txt
#  
#  $ getRelativePath ~/A/B/testfile.txt  ~/A/B/C
#  $ ../testfile.txt
#
#  $ getRelativePath ~/A/B/testfile.txt  /
#  $ home/bunnier/A/B/testfile.txt 
#
function getRelativePath(){
    local targetFilename=$(basename $1)
    local targetFolder=$(cd $(dirname $1);pwd) # absolute target folder path
    local currentFolder=$(cd $2;pwd) # absulute source folder
    local result=.

    while [ "$currentFolder" != "$targetFolder" ];do
      if [[ "$targetFolder" =~ "$currentFolder"* ]];then
          pointSegment=${targetFolder#$currentFolder}
          result=$result/${pointSegment#/}
          break
      fi  
      result="$result"/..
      currentFolder=$(dirname $currentFolder)
    done

    result=$result/$targetFilename
    echo ${result#./}
}

其他回答

#!/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)

Python的os.path.relpath作为shell函数

这个relpath练习的目标是模仿xni提出的Python 2.7的os.path.relpath函数(从Python 2.6版可用,但只能在2.7中正常工作)。因此,一些结果可能与其他答案中提供的函数不同。

(我没有在路径中测试换行符,因为它破坏了基于从ZSH调用python -c的验证。经过一些努力,这当然是可能的。)

关于Bash中的“魔法”,我很久以前就放弃了在Bash中寻找魔法,但我已经在ZSH中找到了我需要的所有魔法,然后是一些。

因此,我提出了两种实现。

第一个实现的目标是完全兼容posix。我已经在Debian 6.0.6的“挤压”上用/bin/dash测试了它。它还可以在OS X 10.8.3上完美地与/bin/sh一起工作,这实际上是伪装成POSIX shell的Bash版本3.2。

第二个实现是一个ZSH shell函数,它对路径中的多个斜杠和其他麻烦具有健壮性。如果您有可用的ZSH,这是推荐的版本,即使您是在下面给出的脚本形式中调用它(即使用#!/usr/bin/env zsh)。

最后,我编写了一个ZSH脚本,根据其他答案中提供的测试用例,验证$PATH中relpath命令的输出。我通过添加一些空格、制表符和标点符号,例如!? *在这里和那里,还抛出了另一个测试与vim-powerline中发现的奇异UTF-8字符。

POSIX外壳函数

首先,posix兼容的shell函数。它适用于各种路径,但不清除多个斜杠或解析符号链接。

#!/bin/sh
relpath () {
    [ $# -ge 1 ] && [ $# -le 2 ] || return 1
    current="${2:+"$1"}"
    target="${2:-"$1"}"
    [ "$target" != . ] || target=/
    target="/${target##/}"
    [ "$current" != . ] || current=/
    current="${current:="/"}"
    current="/${current##/}"
    appendix="${target##/}"
    relative=''
    while appendix="${target#"$current"/}"
        [ "$current" != '/' ] && [ "$appendix" = "$target" ]; do
        if [ "$current" = "$appendix" ]; then
            relative="${relative:-.}"
            echo "${relative#/}"
            return 0
        fi
        current="${current%/*}"
        relative="$relative${relative:+/}.."
    done
    relative="$relative${relative:+${appendix:+/}}${appendix#/}"
    echo "$relative"
}
relpath "$@"

ZSH壳函数

现在是更加健壮的zsh版本。如果您希望它将参数解析为真实路径à la realpath -f(在Linux coreutils包中可用),请将第3行和第4行上的:a替换为:a。

要在zsh中使用它,请删除第一行和最后一行,并将其放在$FPATH变量中的目录中。

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
relpath () {
    [[ $# -ge 1 ]] && [[ $# -le 2 ]] || return 1
    local target=${${2:-$1}:a} # replace `:a' by `:A` to resolve symlinks
    local current=${${${2:+$1}:-$PWD}:a} # replace `:a' by `:A` to resolve symlinks
    local appendix=${target#/}
    local relative=''
    while appendix=${target#$current/}
        [[ $current != '/' ]] && [[ $appendix = $target ]]; do
        if [[ $current = $appendix ]]; then
            relative=${relative:-.}
            print ${relative#/}
            return 0
        fi
        current=${current%/*}
        relative="$relative${relative:+/}.."
    done
    relative+=${relative:+${appendix:+/}}${appendix#/}
    print $relative
}

下面是一个shell脚本,它可以在不调用其他程序的情况下完成:

#bash script to find the relative path between two directories

mydir=${0%/}
mydir=${0%/*}
creadlink="$mydir/creadlink"

shopt -s extglob

relpath_ () {

另一个解决方案,纯bash + GNU readlink,在以下上下文中易于使用:

ln -s "$(relpath "$A" "$B")" "$B"

编辑:确保“$B”是不存在或没有软链接在这种情况下,否则relpath遵循这个链接,这不是你想要的!

这几乎适用于当前所有的Linux。如果readlink -m在您这边不起作用,请尝试readlink -f。请参见https://gist.github.com/hilbix/1ec361d00a8178ae8ea0查看可能的更新:

: relpath A B
# Calculate relative path from A to B, returns true on success
# Example: ln -s "$(relpath "$A" "$B")" "$B"
relpath()
{
local X Y A
# We can create dangling softlinks
X="$(readlink -m -- "$1")" || return
Y="$(readlink -m -- "$2")" || return
X="${X%/}/"
A=""
while   Y="${Y%/*}"
        [ ".${X#"$Y"/}" = ".$X" ]
do
        A="../$A"
done
X="$A${X#"$Y"/}"
X="${X%/}"
echo "${X:-.}"
}

注:

Care was taken that it is safe against unwanted shell meta character expansion, in case filenames contain * or ?. The output is meant to be usable as the first argument to ln -s: relpath / / gives . and not the empty string relpath a a gives a, even if a happens to be a directory Most common cases were tested to give reasonable results, too. This solution uses string prefix matching, hence readlink is required to canonicalize paths. Thanks to readlink -m it works for not yet existing paths, too.

在旧系统上,readlink -m不可用,如果文件不存在,readlink -f将失败。所以你可能需要一些像这样的解决方法(未经测试!):

readlink_missing()
{
readlink -m -- "$1" && return
readlink -f -- "$1" && return
[ -e . ] && echo "$(readlink_missing "$(dirname "$1")")/$(basename "$1")"
}

这在$1包含的情况下是不正确的。或. .对于不存在的路径(如/doesnotexist/./a),但它应该涵盖大多数情况。

(用readlink_missing替换上面的readlink -m——)

编辑,因为下面是反对票

下面是一个测试,这个函数确实是正确的:

check()
{
res="$(relpath "$2" "$1")"
[ ".$res" = ".$3" ] && return
printf ':WRONG: %-10q %-10q gives %q\nCORRECT %-10q %-10q gives %q\n' "$1" "$2" "$res" "$@"
}

#     TARGET   SOURCE         RESULT
check "/A/B/C" "/A"           ".."
check "/A/B/C" "/A.x"         "../../A.x"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B"         "."
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C"       "C"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C/D"     "C/D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C/D/E"   "C/D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/D"       "D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/D/E"     "D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/D"         "../D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/D/E"       "../D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/D/E/F"       "../../D/E/F"

check "/foo/baz/moo" "/foo/bar" "../bar"

困惑吗?好吧,这是正确的结果!即使你认为它不符合问题,以下是正确的证明:

check "http://example.com/foo/baz/moo" "http://example.com/foo/bar" "../bar"

毫无疑问,……/bar是从页面moo中看到的页面栏的准确且唯一正确的相对路径。其他一切都是完全错误的。

采用问题的输出很简单,显然假设current是一个目录:

absolute="/foo/bar"
current="/foo/baz/foo"
relative="../$(relpath "$absolute" "$current")"

这将返回所请求的内容。

在你感到惊讶之前,这里有一个稍微复杂一点的relpath变体(注意细微的区别),它也应该适用于url语法(因此,由于一些bash魔法,末尾/幸存下来):

# Calculate relative PATH to the given DEST from the given BASE
# In the URL case, both URLs must be absolute and have the same Scheme.
# The `SCHEME:` must not be present in the FS either.
# This way this routine works for file paths an
: relpathurl DEST BASE
relpathurl()
{
local X Y A
# We can create dangling softlinks
X="$(readlink -m -- "$1")" || return
Y="$(readlink -m -- "$2")" || return
X="${X%/}/${1#"${1%/}"}"
Y="${Y%/}${2#"${2%/}"}"
A=""
while   Y="${Y%/*}"
        [ ".${X#"$Y"/}" = ".$X" ]
do
        A="../$A"
done
X="$A${X#"$Y"/}"
X="${X%/}"
echo "${X:-.}"
}

这里有一些检查,只是为了弄清楚:它确实像所说的那样工作。

check()
{
res="$(relpathurl "$2" "$1")"
[ ".$res" = ".$3" ] && return
printf ':WRONG: %-10q %-10q gives %q\nCORRECT %-10q %-10q gives %q\n' "$1" "$2" "$res" "$@"
}

#     TARGET   SOURCE         RESULT
check "/A/B/C" "/A"           ".."
check "/A/B/C" "/A.x"         "../../A.x"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B"         "."
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C"       "C"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C/D"     "C/D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C/D/E"   "C/D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/D"       "D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/D/E"     "D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/D"         "../D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/D/E"       "../D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/D/E/F"       "../../D/E/F"

check "/foo/baz/moo" "/foo/bar" "../bar"
check "http://example.com/foo/baz/moo" "http://example.com/foo/bar" "../bar"

check "http://example.com/foo/baz/moo/" "http://example.com/foo/bar" "../../bar"
check "http://example.com/foo/baz/moo"  "http://example.com/foo/bar/" "../bar/"
check "http://example.com/foo/baz/moo/"  "http://example.com/foo/bar/" "../../bar/"

下面是如何用它从问题中得到想要的结果:

absolute="/foo/bar"
current="/foo/baz/foo"
relative="$(relpathurl "$absolute" "$current/")"
echo "$relative"

如果你发现什么东西不起作用,请在下面的评论中告诉我。谢谢。

PS:

为什么relpath的论点与这里的所有其他答案相反?

如果你改变

Y="$(readlink -m -- "$2")" || return

to

Y="$(readlink -m -- "${2:-"$PWD"}")" || return

然后你可以去掉第二个参数,这样BASE就是当前目录/URL/任何东西。这只是Unix的原则。
