How to find the current path?

Hello,

I am fairly new to ruby and wonder if there is a class/method that
returns
the absolute path of the current directory (the directory I execute the
ruby
script from)?

Thanks,
–Bernd

I believe this is what you are after:

$ ruby -e ‘p Dir.pwd’
“/Users/james”

Hope that helps.
