Question

示例：

absolute="/foo/bar"
current="/foo/baz/foo"

# Magic

relative="../../bar"

如何制作魔法（希望不是太复杂的代码......）？

Answer 1

使用GNU coreutils 8.23中的realpath是最简单的，我认为：

$ realpath --relative-to="$file1" "$file2"

例如：

$ realpath --relative-to=/usr/bin/nmap /tmp/testing
../../../tmp/testing

Answer 2

$ python -c "import os.path; print os.path.relpath('/foo/bar', '/foo/baz/foo')"

给出：

../../bar

Answer 3

这是对@pini目前评价最高的解决方案进行了更正，全功能的改进（遗憾地只处理了几个案例）

提醒：'-z'测试字符串是否为零长度（=空）和'-n'测试字符串不为空。

# both $1 and $2 are absolute paths beginning with /
# returns relative path to $2/$target from $1/$source
source=$1
target=$2

common_part=$source # for now
result="" # for now

while [[ "${target#$common_part}" == "${target}" ]]; do
    # no match, means that candidate common part is not correct
    # go up one level (reduce common part)
    common_part="$(dirname $common_part)"
    # and record that we went back, with correct / handling
    if [[ -z $result ]]; then
        result=".."
    else
        result="../$result"
    fi
done

if [[ $common_part == "/" ]]; then
    # special case for root (no common path)
    result="$result/"
fi

# since we now have identified the common part,
# compute the non-common part
forward_part="${target#$common_part}"

# and now stick all parts together
if [[ -n $result ]] && [[ -n $forward_part ]]; then
    result="$result$forward_part"
elif [[ -n $forward_part ]]; then
    # extra slash removal
    result="${forward_part:1}"
fi

echo $result

测试用例：

compute_relative.sh "/A/B/C" "/A"           -->  "../.."
compute_relative.sh "/A/B/C" "/A/B"         -->  ".."
compute_relative.sh "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C"       -->  ""
compute_relative.sh "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C/D"     -->  "D"
compute_relative.sh "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C/D/E"   -->  "D/E"
compute_relative.sh "/A/B/C" "/A/B/D"       -->  "../D"
compute_relative.sh "/A/B/C" "/A/B/D/E"     -->  "../D/E"
compute_relative.sh "/A/B/C" "/A/D"         -->  "../../D"
compute_relative.sh "/A/B/C" "/A/D/E"       -->  "../../D/E"
compute_relative.sh "/A/B/C" "/D/E/F"       -->  "../../../D/E/F"

Answer 4

#!/bin/bash
# both $1 and $2 are absolute paths
# returns $2 relative to $1

source=$1
target=$2

common_part=$source
back=
while [ "${target#$common_part}" = "${target}" ]; do
  common_part=$(dirname $common_part)
  back="../${back}"
done

echo ${back}${target#$common_part/}

Answer 5

自2001年以来，它已内置于Perl，因此几乎适用于您可以想象的每个系统，甚至VMS。

perl -e 'use File::Spec; print File::Spec->abs2rel(@ARGV) . "\n"' FILE BASE

此外，解决方案很容易理解。

所以对你的例子来说：

perl -e 'use File::Spec; print File::Spec->abs2rel(@ARGV) . "\n"' $absolute $current

......会工作得很好。

Answer 6

Python的`os.path.relpath`作为shell函数

这个relpath练习的目标是模仿Python 2.7的os.path.relpath函数（可从Python 2.6版获得，但仅在2.7中正常工作），如xni所提出的。因此，某些结果可能与其他答案中提供的功能不同。

（我没有在路径中测试新行，因为它违反了从ZSH调用python -c的验证。通过一些努力肯定是可能的。）

关于Bash中的“魔法”，我已经放弃了很久以前在Bash中寻找魔法，但我已经找到了我需要的所有魔法，然后是ZSH中的一些魔法。

因此，我提出了两种实现方式。

第一个实现旨在完全符合 POSIX标准。我在Debian 6.0.6“Squeeze”上用/bin/dash测试了它。它也适用于OS X 10.8.3上的/bin/sh，它实际上是Bash版本3.2，假装是POSIX shell。

第二个实现是一个ZSH shell函数，它可以抵御路径中的多个斜杠和其他麻烦。如果你有ZSH可用，这是推荐的版本，即使你是以下面提供的脚本形式（即来自另一个shell的shebang #!/usr/bin/env zsh）调用它。

最后，我编写了一个ZSH脚本，根据其他答案提供的测试用例，验证relpath中$PATH命令的输出。我在这些测试中添加了一些空格，制表符和标点符号（例如! ? *），并在vim-powerline中添加了另外一个带有异国情调的UTF-8字符的测试。

POSIX shell函数

首先，符合POSIX的shell功能。它适用于各种路径，但不会清除多个斜杠或解析符号链接。

#!/bin/sh
relpath () {
    [ $# -ge 1 ] && [ $# -le 2 ] || return 1
    current="${2:+"$1"}"
    target="${2:-"$1"}"
    [ "$target" != . ] || target=/
    target="/${target##/}"
    [ "$current" != . ] || current=/
    current="${current:="/"}"
    current="/${current##/}"
    appendix="${target##/}"
    relative=''
    while appendix="${target#"$current"/}"
        [ "$current" != '/' ] && [ "$appendix" = "$target" ]; do
        if [ "$current" = "$appendix" ]; then
            relative="${relative:-.}"
            echo "${relative#/}"
            return 0
        fi
        current="${current%/*}"
        relative="$relative${relative:+/}.."
    done
    relative="$relative${relative:+${appendix:+/}}${appendix#/}"
    echo "$relative"
}
relpath "$@"

ZSH shell函数

现在，更强大的zsh版本。如果您希望它解析真实路径的参数（la realpath -f（可在Linux coreutils包中找到）），请将第3行和第4行的:a替换为:A

要在zsh中使用此功能，请删除第一行和最后一行，并将其放在$FPATH变量中的目录中。

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
relpath () {
    [[ $# -ge 1 ]] && [[ $# -le 2 ]] || return 1
    local target=${${2:-$1}:a} # replace `:a' by `:A` to resolve symlinks
    local current=${${${2:+$1}:-$PWD}:a} # replace `:a' by `:A` to resolve symlinks
    local appendix=${target#/}
    local relative=''
    while appendix=${target#$current/}
        [[ $current != '/' ]] && [[ $appendix = $target ]]; do
        if [[ $current = $appendix ]]; then
            relative=${relative:-.}
            print ${relative#/}
            return 0
        fi
        current=${current%/*}
        relative="$relative${relative:+/}.."
    done
    relative+=${relative:+${appendix:+/}}${appendix#/}
    print $relative
}
relpath "$@"

测试脚本

最后，测试脚本。它接受一个选项，即-v以启用详细输出。

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
set -eu
VERBOSE=false
script_name=$(basename $0)

usage () {
    print "\n    Usage: $script_name SRC_PATH DESTINATION_PATH\n" >&2
    exit ${1:=1}
}
vrb () { $VERBOSE && print -P ${(%)@} || return 0; }

relpath_check () {
    [[ $# -ge 1 ]] && [[ $# -le 2 ]] || return 1
    target=${${2:-$1}}
    prefix=${${${2:+$1}:-$PWD}}
    result=$(relpath $prefix $target)
    # Compare with python's os.path.relpath function
    py_result=$(python -c "import os.path; print os.path.relpath('$target', '$prefix')")
    col='%F{green}'
    if [[ $result != $py_result ]] && col='%F{red}' || $VERBOSE; then
        print -P "${col}Source: '$prefix'\nDestination: '$target'%f"
        print -P "${col}relpath: ${(qq)result}%f"
        print -P "${col}python:  ${(qq)py_result}%f\n"
    fi
}

run_checks () {
    print "Running checks..."

Answer 7

假设你已经安装了：bash，pwd，dirname，echo;那么relpath是

#!/bin/bash
s=$(cd ${1%%/};pwd); d=$(cd $2;pwd); while [ "${d#$s/}" == "${d}" ]
do s=$(dirname $s);b="../${b}"; done; echo ${b}${d#$s/}

我从pini和其他一些想法中获得了答案

Answer 8

#!/bin/sh

# Return relative path from canonical absolute dir path $1 to canonical
# absolute dir path $2 ($1 and/or $2 may end with one or no "/").
# Does only need POSIX shell builtins (no external command)
relPath () {
    local common path up
    common=${1%/} path=${2%/}/
    while test "${path#"$common"/}" = "$path"; do
        common=${common%/*} up=../$up
    done
    path=$up${path#"$common"/}; path=${path%/}; printf %s "${path:-.}"
}

# Return relative path from dir $1 to dir $2 (Does not impose any
# restrictions on $1 and $2 but requires GNU Core Utility "readlink"
# HINT: busybox's "readlink" does not support option '-m', only '-f'
#       which requires that all but the last path component must exist)
relpath () { relPath "$(readlink -m "$1")" "$(readlink -m "$2")"; }

以上shell脚本的灵感来自pini's（谢谢！）。它会触发一个错误在Stack Overflow的语法高亮模块中（至少在我的预览中）帧）。如果突出显示不正确，请忽略。

一些注意事项：

删除错误并改进代码，而不会显着增加代码长度和复杂性
将功能放入功能中以便于使用
保持POSIX兼容功能，以便它们（应该）与所有POSIX一起使用 shell（在Ubuntu Linux 12.04中使用dash，bash和zsh进行测试）
仅使用局部变量来避免破坏全局变量和污染全球名称空间
两个目录路径都不需要存在（我的应用程序的要求）
路径名可能包含空格，特殊字符，控制字符，反斜杠，制表符，'，“，？，*，[，]等。
核心功能“relPath”仅使用POSIX shell内置但需要规范的绝对目录路径作为参数
扩展函数“relpath”可以处理任意目录路径（也是相对的，非规范的）但需要外部GNU核心实用程序“readlink”
避免使用内置“echo”并使用内置“printf”，原因有两个：
- 由于内置“回声”的历史实现存在冲突在不同的壳中表现不同 - ＆gt; POSIX recommends that printf is preferred over echo。
- 某些POSIX shell的内置“echo”将interpret some backslash sequences，从而破坏包含此类序列的路径名
为了避免不必要的转换，在返回路径名时会使用它们并期望shell和OS实用程序（例如cd，ln，ls，find，mkdir; 不像python的“os.path.relpath”，它将解释一些反斜杠序列）
除了上面提到的反斜杠序列，函数“relPath”的最后一行输出与python兼容的路径名：
```
path=$up${path#"$common"/}; path=${path%/}; printf %s "${path:-.}"
```
最后一行可以用行替换（和简化）
```
printf %s "$up${path#"$common"/}"
```
我更喜欢后者，因为
1. 文件名可以直接附加到relPath获取的目录路径，例如：
```
ln -s "$(relpath "<fromDir>" "<toDir>")<file>" "<fromDir>"
```
2. 使用此方法创建的同一目录中的符号链接没有丑陋的"./"前置于文件名。
如果您发现错误，请联系linuxball（at）gmail.com，我会尝试解决它。
添加了回归测试套件（也兼容POSIX shell）

Answer 9

我只是将Perl用于这个不那么重要的任务：

absolute="/foo/bar"
current="/foo/baz/foo"

# Perl is magic
relative=$(perl -MFile::Spec -e 'print File::Spec->abs2rel("'$absolute'","'$current'")')

Answer 10

此脚本仅为没有.或..的绝对路径或相对路径的输入提供正确的结果：

#!/bin/bash

# usage: relpath from to

if [[ "$1" == "$2" ]]
then
    echo "."
    exit
fi

IFS="/"

current=($1)
absolute=($2)

abssize=${#absolute[@]}
cursize=${#current[@]}

while [[ ${absolute[level]} == ${current[level]} ]]
do
    (( level++ ))
    if (( level > abssize || level > cursize ))
    then
        break
    fi
done

for ((i = level; i < cursize; i++))
do
    if ((i > level))
    then
        newpath=$newpath"/"
    fi
    newpath=$newpath".."
done

for ((i = level; i < abssize; i++))
do
    if [[ -n $newpath ]]
    then
        newpath=$newpath"/"
    fi
    newpath=$newpath${absolute[i]}
done

echo "$newpath"

Answer 11

kasku's和Pini's答案略有改进，这些答案可以更好地使用空格并允许传递相对路径：

#!/bin/bash
# both $1 and $2 are paths
# returns $2 relative to $1
absolute=`readlink -f "$2"`
current=`readlink -f "$1"`
# Perl is magic
# Quoting horror.... spaces cause problems, that's why we need the extra " in here:
relative=$(perl -MFile::Spec -e "print File::Spec->abs2rel(q($absolute),q($current))")

echo $relative

Answer 12

这里没有很多答案适合每天使用。由于在纯粹的bash中很难做到这一点，我建议采用以下可靠的解决方案（类似于评论中的一个建议）：

function relpath() { 
  python -c "import os,sys;print(os.path.relpath(*(sys.argv[1:])))" "$@";
}

然后，您可以根据当前目录获取相对路径：

echo $(relpath somepath)

或者您可以指定路径相对于给定目录：

echo $(relpath somepath /etc)  # relative to /etc

一个缺点是这需要python，但是：

它在任何python＆gt; = 2.6
不要求文件或目录存在。
文件名可能包含更多种类的特殊字符。例如，如果文件名包含，许多其他解决方案都不起作用空格或其他特殊字符。
这是一个单行功能，不会使脚本混乱。

请注意，包含basename或dirname的解决方案可能不一定更好，因为它们需要安装coreutils。如果某人有一个可靠而简单的纯bash解决方案（而不是一个好奇的好奇心），我会感到惊讶。

Answer 13

test.sh：

#!/bin/bash                                                                 

cd /home/ubuntu
touch blah
TEST=/home/ubuntu/.//blah
echo TEST=$TEST
TMP=$(readlink -e "$TEST")
echo TMP=$TMP
REL=${TMP#$(pwd)/}
echo REL=$REL

测试：

$ ./test.sh 
TEST=/home/ubuntu/.//blah
TMP=/home/ubuntu/blah
REL=blah

Answer 14

我把你的问题作为挑战，用“便携式”shell代码编写，即

牢记POSIX shell
没有像数组这样的bashisms
避免像瘟疫那样召唤外部人员。脚本中没有单个fork！这使得它非常快，特别是在具有显着叉开销的系统上，例如cygwin。
必须处理路径名中的glob字符（*，？，[，]）

它在任何符合POSIX标准的shell（zsh，bash，ksh，ash，busybox，...）上运行。它甚至包含一个验证其操作的测试套件。路径名的规范化留作练习。： - ）

Answer 15

可悲的是，Mark Rushakoff的答案（现已删除 - 它引用了here中的代码）在适应时似乎无法正常工作：

source=/home/part2/part3/part4
target=/work/proj1/proj2

评论中概述的思路可以进行改进，使其适用于大多数情况。我将假设脚本采用源参数（您所在的位置）和目标参数（您想要到达的位置），并且两者都是绝对路径名或两者都是相对的。如果一个是绝对的而另一个是相对的，最简单的方法是在相对名称前加上当前工作目录 - 但下面的代码不会这样做。

当心

以下代码接近正常工作，但不太正确。

丹尼斯威廉姆森的评论中提到了问题。
还有一个问题是，这种纯粹的文本处理路径名，你可能会被奇怪的符号链接搞砸了。
代码不会处理“xyz/./pqr”等路径中的杂散“点”。
代码不会处理“xyz/../pqr”等路径中的杂散“双点”。
琐碎：代码不会从路径中删除前导“./”。

Dennis的代码更好，因为它修复了1和5 - 但具有相同的问题2,3,4。因此，请使用丹尼斯的代码（并在此之前进行投票）。

（注意：POSIX提供了一个系统调用realpath()来解析路径名，这样它们就不会留下任何符号链接。将它应用于输入名称，然后使用Dennis的代码每次都会得到正确的答案。编写包裹realpath()的C代码是微不足道的 - 我已经完成了 - 但我不知道这样做的标准实用程序。）

为此，我发现Perl比shell更容易使用，虽然bash对数组有很好的支持，也可能这样做 - 为读者练习。因此，给定两个兼容的名称，将它们分成几个组件：

将相对路径设置为空。
虽然组件相同，但请跳到下一步。
当相应的组件不同或一条路径没有更多组件时：
如果没有剩余的源组件且相对路径为空，请添加“。”一开始。
对于每个剩余的源组件，在相对路径前加上“../".
如果没有剩余目标组件且相对路径为空，请添加“。”一开始。
对于每个剩余的目标组件，请在斜杠后将组件添加到路径的末尾。

因此：

#!/bin/perl -w

use strict;

# Should fettle the arguments if one is absolute and one relative:
# Oops - missing functionality!

# Split!
my(@source) = split '/', $ARGV[0];
my(@target) = split '/', $ARGV[1];

my $count = scalar(@source);
   $count = scalar(@target) if (scalar(@target) < $count);
my $relpath = "";

my $i;
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
{
    last if $source[$i] ne $target[$i];
}

$relpath = "." if ($i >= scalar(@source) && $relpath eq "");
for (my $s = $i; $s < scalar(@source); $s++)
{
    $relpath = "../$relpath";
}
$relpath = "." if ($i >= scalar(@target) && $relpath eq "");
for (my $t = $i; $t < scalar(@target); $t++)
{
    $relpath .= "/$target[$t]";
}

# Clean up result (remove double slash, trailing slash, trailing slash-dot).
$relpath =~ s%//%/%;
$relpath =~ s%/$%%;
$relpath =~ s%/\.$%%;

print "source  = $ARGV[0]\n";
print "target  = $ARGV[1]\n";
print "relpath = $relpath\n";

在面对奇怪的输入时，这个Perl脚本在Unix上运行相当彻底（它没有考虑到Windows路径名的所有复杂性）。它使用模块Cwd及其函数realpath来解析存在的名称的真实路径，并对不存在的路径进行文本分析。在除了一个之外的所有情况下，它产生与Dennis的脚本相同的输出。不正常的情况是：

source   = home/part1/part2
target   = .
relpath1 = ../../..
relpath2 = ../../../.

这两个结果是等价的 - 只是不相同。（输出来自测试脚本的温和修改版本 - 下面的Perl脚本只是打印答案，而不是上面脚本中的输入和答案。）现在：我应该消除不工作的答案？也许...... 的

我的解决方案：

computeRelativePath() 
{

    Source=$(readlink -f ${1})
    Target=$(readlink -f ${2})

    local OLDIFS=$IFS
    IFS="/"

    local SourceDirectoryArray=($Source)
    local TargetDirectoryArray=($Target)

    local SourceArrayLength=$(echo ${SourceDirectoryArray[@]} | wc -w)
    local TargetArrayLength=$(echo ${TargetDirectoryArray[@]} | wc -w)

    local Length
    test $SourceArrayLength -gt $TargetArrayLength && Length=$SourceArrayLength || Length=$TargetArrayLength


    local Result=""
    local AppendToEnd=""

    IFS=$OLDIFS

    local i

    for ((i = 0; i <= $Length + 1 ; i++ ))
    do
            if [ "${SourceDirectoryArray[$i]}" = "${TargetDirectoryArray[$i]}" ]
            then
                continue    
            elif [ "${SourceDirectoryArray[$i]}" != "" ] && [ "${TargetDirectoryArray[$i]}" != "" ] 
            then
                AppendToEnd="${AppendToEnd}${TargetDirectoryArray[${i}]}/"
                Result="${Result}../"               

            elif [ "${SourceDirectoryArray[$i]}" = "" ]
            then
                Result="${Result}${TargetDirectoryArray[${i}]}/"
            else
                Result="${Result}../"
            fi
    done

    Result="${Result}${AppendToEnd}"

    echo $Result

}

Answer 17

另一个解决方案，纯bash + GNU readlink，以便在以下环境中使用：

ln -s "$(relpath "$A" "$B")" "$B"

编辑：确保“$ B”在这种情况下不存在或没有软链接，否则relpath跟随此链接，这不是您想要的！

这适用于几乎所有当前的Linux。如果readlink -m无效，请尝试使用readlink -f。有关可能的更新，请参阅https://gist.github.com/hilbix/1ec361d00a8178ae8ea0：

: relpath A B
# Calculate relative path from A to B, returns true on success
# Example: ln -s "$(relpath "$A" "$B")" "$B"
relpath()
{
local X Y A
# We can create dangling softlinks
X="$(readlink -m -- "$1")" || return
Y="$(readlink -m -- "$2")" || return
X="${X%/}/"
A=""
while   Y="${Y%/*}"
        [ ".${X#"$Y"/}" = ".$X" ]
do
        A="../$A"
done
X="$A${X#"$Y"/}"
X="${X%/}"
echo "${X:-.}"
}

注意：

如果文件名包含*或?，请注意防止不需要的shell元字符扩展是安全的。
输出可用作ln -s的第一个参数：
- relpath / /提供.而不是空字符串
- relpath a a提供a，即使a恰好是目录
对大多数常见案例进行了测试，以给出合理的结果。
此解决方案使用字符串前缀匹配，因此需要readlink来规范化路径。
感谢readlink -m，它也适用于尚未存在的路径。

在readlink -m不可用的旧系统上，如果文件不存在，readlink -f将失败。所以你可能需要一些这样的解决方法（未经测试！）：

readlink_missing()
{
readlink -m -- "$1" && return
readlink -f -- "$1" && return
[ -e . ] && echo "$(readlink_missing "$(dirname "$1")")/$(basename "$1")"
}

如果$1包含.或..用于不存在的路径（例如/doesnotexist/./a），则这种情况并不十分正确，但它应涵盖大多数情况。

（将上面的readlink -m --替换为readlink_missing。）

编辑因为下面的注册

这是一个测试，这个功能确实是正确的：

check()
{
res="$(relpath "$2" "$1")"
[ ".$res" = ".$3" ] && return
printf ':WRONG: %-10q %-10q gives %q\nCORRECT %-10q %-10q gives %q\n' "$1" "$2" "$res" "$@"
}

#     TARGET   SOURCE         RESULT
check "/A/B/C" "/A"           ".."
check "/A/B/C" "/A.x"         "../../A.x"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B"         "."
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C"       "C"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C/D"     "C/D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C/D/E"   "C/D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/D"       "D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/D/E"     "D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/D"         "../D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/D/E"       "../D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/D/E/F"       "../../D/E/F"

check "/foo/baz/moo" "/foo/bar" "../bar"

困惑？好吧，这些都是正确的结果！即使你认为它不适合这个问题，这也是证明这是正确的：

check "http://example.com/foo/baz/moo" "http://example.com/foo/bar" "../bar"

毫无疑问，../bar是从bar页面看到的页面moo的确切且唯一正确的相对路径。其他一切都是完全错误的。

对于明显假定current是一个目录的问题采用输出是微不足道的：

absolute="/foo/bar"
current="/foo/baz/foo"
relative="../$(relpath "$absolute" "$current")"

这准确地返回了所要求的内容。

在你挑起眉毛之前，这是relpath的一个更复杂的变体（发现小差异），这也适用于URL语法（所以尾随/幸存，感谢一些bash - 魔术师：

# Calculate relative PATH to the given DEST from the given BASE
# In the URL case, both URLs must be absolute and have the same Scheme.
# The `SCHEME:` must not be present in the FS either.
# This way this routine works for file paths an
: relpathurl DEST BASE
relpathurl()
{
local X Y A
# We can create dangling softlinks
X="$(readlink -m -- "$1")" || return
Y="$(readlink -m -- "$2")" || return
X="${X%/}/${1#"${1%/}"}"
Y="${Y%/}${2#"${2%/}"}"
A=""
while   Y="${Y%/*}"
        [ ".${X#"$Y"/}" = ".$X" ]
do
        A="../$A"
done
X="$A${X#"$Y"/}"
X="${X%/}"
echo "${X:-.}"
}

这里的检查只是为了表明：它确实有效。

check()
{
res="$(relpathurl "$2" "$1")"
[ ".$res" = ".$3" ] && return
printf ':WRONG: %-10q %-10q gives %q\nCORRECT %-10q %-10q gives %q\n' "$1" "$2" "$res" "$@"
}

#     TARGET   SOURCE         RESULT
check "/A/B/C" "/A"           ".."
check "/A/B/C" "/A.x"         "../../A.x"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B"         "."
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C"       "C"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C/D"     "C/D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/C/D/E"   "C/D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/D"       "D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/B/D/E"     "D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/D"         "../D"
check "/A/B/C" "/A/D/E"       "../D/E"
check "/A/B/C" "/D/E/F"       "../../D/E/F"

check "/foo/baz/moo" "/foo/bar" "../bar"
check "http://example.com/foo/baz/moo" "http://example.com/foo/bar" "../bar"

check "http://example.com/foo/baz/moo/" "http://example.com/foo/bar" "../../bar"
check "http://example.com/foo/baz/moo"  "http://example.com/foo/bar/" "../bar/"
check "http://example.com/foo/baz/moo/"  "http://example.com/foo/bar/" "../../bar/"

以下是如何通过这个问题来提供想要的结果：

absolute="/foo/bar"
current="/foo/baz/foo"
relative="$(relpathurl "$absolute" "$current/")"
echo "$relative"

如果您发现无法使用的内容，请在下面的评论中告诉我们。感谢。

PS：

为什么relpath的论点“与其他所有答案形成对比”？

如果你改变了

Y="$(readlink -m -- "$2")" || return

到

Y="$(readlink -m -- "${2:-"$PWD"}")" || return

然后你可以离开第二个参数，这样BASE就是当前目录/ URL /无论如何。这是唯一的Unix原则，像往常一样。

如果您不喜欢，请返回Windows。感谢。
