nat@ubuntu:~/class$ touch testpath.txt nat@ubuntu:~/class$ ls -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 nat nat 4096 2012-04-23 13:03 . drwxr-xr-x 25 nat nat 4096 2012-04-23 12:24 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 nat nat 0 2012-04-23 10:58 paths.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 nat nat 0 2012-04-23 12:51 pwd
-rw-r--r-- 1 nat nat 0 2012-04-23 13:03 testpath.txt nat@ubuntu:~/class$ 6. nat@ubuntu:~/class$ ls paths.txt pwd testpath.txt

nat@ubuntu:~$ cd class nat@ubuntu:~/class$ cat testpath.txt what is your absolute path, relative path and call it paths.txt
