My address path is like this D://Excel. This is working fine in windows and file is getting saved at the given passed address. Now my problem is this i don't know how can I get the address path in ubuntu. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

take your terminal and type

pwd

This will give your home folder path. Use that in your program.. It will be something like this /home/adarsh..
