Yes, but it depends on the shell. DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "$0" )" && pwd )" will always<1> set the DIR to the path the script is in in bash, for example. That command is space safe so you will end up with "/Users/myname/My Shell Script/script One.sh” in DIR if need be. <1> FSVO of always -- There is no Humpty Dumpty, and there is no God.
