I seem to be wasting a lot of time on something that may already exist...
I'm trying to find a way to add/subtract paths to files.
Like, I have a path from / and I want to subtract it from the path to a given
file so that I end up with a path relative to the end of the first path. Sorry
it it's not clear:
original path:
/path/to/folder
path to subtract it from:
/path/to/folder/path/from/folder/file
result:
./path/from/folder/file
the idea being that I need to cd to the shortest path and work on the files
*relative to that position*.
I just want to know if there is a way to accomplish that that does not involve
weird (path as string) manipulations...
(I spent the whole morning fighting with the "a reference to" and I'm still
bleeding)
