I'm a beginner in bash scripting, Sorry if my question is a little bit like a noob. I wrote a scripts to create a configuration and save it to the directory which is taken from the user. the problem is that the scripts is not working when I enter the path of the directory as a relative path, but it is working when I enter the absolute path.
for example: for something like this if I run the following scripts like :
#!/usr/bin/env bash
read -p "Enter the location: " LOCATION
echo "HELLO" > $LOCATION/test1.txt
Enter the location: /home/lutube/Documents
it is working fine. but when I write the relative path like:
Enter the location: ~/Documents
bash: ~/Documents/test1.txt: No such file or directory
I really appreciate If you help me to solve this problem in a shortest way because my script is already long!! and I also want the reason of the problem.
