function in .bashrc

[ovince]

Hi

I would like to put a function into .bashrc file that would:
open a new Konsole and cd into the result of pwd command. Something like:

pwdinnk() {
p=`echo pwd`
echo $p
`dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession`
`cd $p`
}

This does not work. In details:

1. The echo $p part does not give me back the current path. What is wrong here?

2. this part `dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession` works OK. It opens a new Konsole just as I want

3. The `cd $p` I wrote ad hoc just to present the idea. What would be the proper syntax here?

Could somebody help me on this?

thanks

Replace this:
p=`echo pwd`
with this:
p=`pwd`

Hope This Helps, PH.

Do you have a tip how to change dir?

`cd $p`

does not work in this form

Remove the backticks for point 3.

Just cd $p should work.
