I have the understanding that using “/../” in a file location in bash will go up one level. That’s what I’m trying to do here:

  for box in {0..4}
  do
   for lvl in {0..24}
   do
    key="UNLOCKED_${box}_$lvl"
    plutil -key "$key" -value '1' "$appdir/../Library/Preferences/com.chillingo.cuttherope.plist" 2>&1> /dev/null
    #successCheck=$(plutil -key "$key" "/$appdir/../Library/Preferences/com.chillingo.cuttherope.plist")
    #if [ "$successCheck" -lt 1 ]; then
    # echo "Level ${box}-$lvl failed! "
    #fi
   done
  done

But I keep getting this error (x125):

Error: File not found at path /var/mobile/Applications/1E17CC78-AA6E-4FFA-B241-74A73FE3AB0E/CutTheRope.app/../Library/Preferences/com.chillingo.cuttherope.plist

Any help would be greatly appreciated/
Thanks.

    / means start from the root of the filesystem or context, and ../ means go up one level. /../ effectively cancels the two out.

    To go up one level, try ../

    EDIT: In other words, try removing the / from the end of the variable in your path.

    EDIT #2: The best solution is to probably just remove the /../

    EDIT #3:

    This would work:

      /var/mobile/Applications/1E17CC78-AA6E-4FFA-B241-74A73FE3AB0E/CutTheRope.app/Library/../Library/Preferences/

    And if you removed the second Library and the .. it should also work:

     /var/mobile/Applications/1E17CC78-AA6E-4FFA-B241-74A73FE3AB0E/CutTheRope.app/Library/Preferences/
