Re: How to expand "../" in a path?
|
According to Walt Mankowski:

Well, you realize that in the presence of symlinks, stripping out
"foo/.." actually changes the path you're interested in...
I'd probably do the rel2abs thing and then go all non-portable, since
".." is kind of a Unixish thing anyway:
s{ / \.\. / [^/]+ }{}xg
