I want to get path location of file to a variable, I know file -location parameter but It cant give the exact path but also the file name :

A second question, how I get the file name in to a variable.

hi,

is this what you are after ?

string $filePath = `file -q -sceneName`; // get the current scene's full path
string $fileName = basename ($filePath,".ma"); // get the file name
string $dirname = dirname( $filePath );// get the directory of the current scene

:thumbsup:

Hi, also basenameEx( $filePath ) will give you the scene name without the directory or the file extension.
