ROOT=`pwd | sed 's%\(.*/myABC\)/.*%\1%'`
This is a shell command , I believe the purpose is to find root path of this project.
I am not so sure how this work.
Could anyone help explain it for me?
Thank you so much
you are in the directory path
/home/youruser/myABC/some/other/deeper/dir
and you use these command the path will be truncated to only /home/youruser/myABC/.
sed – is a string editing tool
s% – substitute the string of pwd and use ‘%’ as separator
\(.*/myABC\)/.* – capture a string which contains myABC and save this in the first parameter
\1 – print first parameter
best regards kenny
