Automator Change to directory of dropped files before running Shell command
This is very easy in zsh. You can use the :h option to a variable to refer to the head of its full path:
#!/usr/bin/env zsh -f
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin"
for i in "$@"
do
FILE="$i"
cd "$FILE:h"
# do other things here
done
In a shell like bash you would need to use the dirname command:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin"
for i in "$@"
do
FILE="$i"
DIR=$(dirname "$FILE")
cd "$DIR"
# do other things here
done
