Hi, When my program starts it needs to know a complete path to the directory from which it was invoked. In terms of standard shell (sh) I need the Haskell function that will do equivalent to:

#!/bin/sh path=$(dirname $0)

If I understand you correctly, you want takeDirectory `fmap` getProgName where import System.FilePath (takeDirectory) Cheers, -- Felipe.
