    Chdir()

    Hello!

    I start to give an example:

    I'am running the program in the directorie("/home/big/work2")

    Then in the middle of the program i change the directorie:
    I've used chdir("FINE");
    And then i want in other part of the program to return to the previous directorie:
    ("/home/big/work2")

    How can i return to the previous directorie without writing the all PATH:/home/big/work2

    Like doing "c.."
    thanks

    How about "cwd()" to get the current directory before you chdir(), so you can chdir() back again when you're done
