Changing of directories on linux scripts

Question

Can i get some help please, I need to change directories within a script so that different commands can act on the different directories within the script. I currently use Redhat I have tried the following; where xxxx is my current directory ( where the script is location) and new_folder is one of the subfolders I need the script to work on
1. cd “/data/xxxxx/new_folder” 2. cd '/data/xxxxx/new_folder' 3. cd “./new_folder”

Your help is highly appreciated

Answer 1

If using a full path is not an option, try using a path variable to accommodate that info. eg myFolder="/home/users/xxxxx" and then using the variable like this: cd $myFolder/;
