hi!!!,

I wan't to create backup files on my system with extension ~

eg: 1.c~ for 1.c


I decided to write a shell script for the same


I name it as vim.sh

and in by .bashrc i alias it as

alias "vim =sh ~/vim.sh"



#!/bin/sh
for i in $@
do
cp $i /pwd/$i~
vim $i
done

It does not work and the error it gave without the lineno:5(vim $i)
as cannot locate directory /pwd/


What is the variable in shell which contains the present working
directory..

I think getting variable should solve the problem ..

Any ideas ..


Thanks for reading...

$PWD # using variable

or

$(pwd) # using pwd-program
