Re: how-to Recursive Ascend

[Montaseri]

Doing something like
../../../rfind
would bring us full circle back to hard coding your path which we are attempting to get away from....but we could put such a script in /usr/bin/rfind, but being that this problem is a bit more academic (than industrial), that would create a non plug-and-play. That is you first have to install something....

Hope I am not taking too much of the group's bandwidth on this topic...

I am still not happy with this solution....putting this in all Makefiles is a disaster waiting to happen

You could of course put it in top_srcdir and call it like ../../../rfind.

;)

But seriously, though - thanks for posting the code. i think i have a use for this as well.
