Hi Matt,

I am not using any method for getting the path.As i select the file
name in IE its prinitng the full path of the file as file name in IE
where as in fire fox ,its not printing the fullpath when i am using
the file name that i used in IE.is there any method in ruby which
i can use in for getting the full path of the file

Is File.expand_path(filename) what you're looking for?

Don't want to revive a 5 year old thread. But for those who came here
looking for answers, this is how I got it:

require 'pathname'
filepath = some_valid_path
Pathname.new(filepath).realpath.to_s

The thing to note is that realpath expects the file to exist.
