csd and pwd

Using the command line I am looking for a RISC OS equivalent to the pwd bash command.

The pwd command supplied with !CoreUtils works sometimes but it has a serious bug
and changes the csd back to root if it fails.

*show *csd
FileSwitch$NFS$CSD : :share.$
FileSwitch$RAM$CSD : :X6_RAM.$
FileSwitch$SCSI$CSD : :SSD.$
*

*Show *csd shows the current CSD but does not show the current filing system.
So if you have keyed *RAM the RAM$CSD applies and a Cat command lists the RAM files,
not the SCSI files.
I would like to issue a command to show the currently selected filing system, drive and CSD.

FileSwitch$CurrentFilingSystem, FileSwitch$<FileSwitch$CurrentFilingSystem>$CSD

pwd … changes the csd

Burn with fire.

It took me ages to work out but I use the following in an Obey file at boot time to create an alias so I can just type “pwd”:
*SetMacro pwd10 FileSwitch$<FileSwitch$CurrentFilingSystem>$CSD *SetMacro pwd11 |<<pwd10>> *Set Alias$pwd Set Alias$pwd2 Echo |<FileSwitch$CurrentFilingSystem>:|<pwd11>|Mpwd2|MUnset Alias$pwd2

I give up! Textile!!
But hopefully you can see that *SetMacro and *Set need to be on a new line.

Thanks Stuart and Richard.

see what you mean about the Textile. Here it is using bc.

*SetMacro pwd10 FileSwitch$<FileSwitch$CurrentFilingSystem>$CSD
*SetMacro pwd11 |<<pwd10>>
*Set Alias$pwd Set Alias$pwd2 Echo |<FileSwitch$CurrentFilingSystem>:<pwd11>|Mpwd2|MUnset Alias$pwd2

Burn with fire.

As opposed to…?

As opposed to…?

It’s a bit biblical. I suppose if you don’t consider hypergolic propellants to be ‘on fire’ but with engine ‘burning’?

Maybe Thomas Milius ExtdVars helps…
