full path of a file

how can i tell the full path of any given file?

say i'm on directory /a/b/c1 and there's a file called /a/b/c2/bla.txt

how can i get the full path to the file bla.txt from my current directory /a/b/c1?

for example:

Code:

$ pwd

/a/b/c1

$ some_cmd ../c2/bla.txt

/a/b/c2/bla.txt

is there such a command?

"how can i get the full path to the file bla.txt from my current directory /a/b/c1?"

Use the find command:
find / -iname "*bla.txt*"

See:
man find
