Krion 6 Posted September 12 (edited) Hi guys, How do I get a proper path when using the "/../" method? When middleclicking on such a parameter expression as $HIP/../flips/img.jpg it returns this parent_of_hipfolder/hipfolder/../flips/img.jpg (i.e go in, and then go up again) which Houdini seems to be able to read properly. But I want the path like this: parent_of_hipfolder/flips/img.jpg which I could later on use properly with the python os module, to read the data of the file. It doesn't understand the up-one-folder syntax, "/../" Thank you! Edited September 12 by Krion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krion 6 Posted September 12 (edited) Ok wonderful, turns out this is not just an Houdini thing but a global thing, import os print os.path.abspath(path) Edited September 12 by Krion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
