[erlang-questions] Current working directory

[Adam Lindberg]

Yes, using that one is not "abuse". :-)

Although I'll stick with my version because it's more easily combined:

CurrentDirName = filename:basename(filename:absname("").

vs

{ok, Dir} = file:get_cwd(),
CurrentDirName = filename:basename(Dir).

Cheers!
Adam
