Get the Current Script File Name

Get the current script file name

Just use the PHP magic constant __FILE__ to get the current filename.

But it seems you want the part without .php. So...

basename(__FILE__, '.php'); 

A more generic file extension remover would look like this...

function chopExtension($filename) {
    return pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
}

var_dump(chopExtension('bob.php')); // string(3) "bob"
var_dump(chopExtension('bob.i.have.dots.zip')); // string(15) "bob.i.have.dots"

Using standard string library functions is much quicker, as you'd expect.

function chopExtension($filename) {
    return substr($filename, 0, strrpos($filename, '.'));
}

How do I know the script file name in a Bash script?

me=`basename "$0"`

For reading through a symlink¹, which is usually not what you want (you usually don't want to confuse the user this way), try:

me="$(basename "$(test -L "$0" && readlink "$0" || echo "$0")")"

IMO, that'll produce confusing output. "I ran foo.sh, but it's saying I'm running bar.sh!? Must be a bug!" Besides, one of the purposes of having differently-named symlinks is to provide different functionality based on the name it's called as (think gzip and gunzip on some platforms).

¹ That is, to resolve symlinks such that when the user executes foo.sh which is actually a symlink to bar.sh, you wish to use the resolved name bar.sh rather than foo.sh.

Get name of current script in Python

You can use __file__ to get the name of the current file. When used in the main module, this is the name of the script that was originally invoked.

If you want to omit the directory part (which might be present), you can use os.path.basename(__file__).

How to get the name of the current script?

sourcecode.File() will return the name of the current script

Get Initial php script file name not by __FILE__

You have to use $_SERVER[PHP_SELF].

According to documentation:

The filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document root.

$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]works also on CLI interface. (Edit: ... but I doesn't have tested in Windows)

How do I retrieve the filename of the current script in AutoHotkey?

Use: A_ScriptName The filename of the current script, without its path, e.g. MyScript.ahk.

MsgBox, The current script is %A_ScriptName%

See: https://autohotkey.com/docs/Variables.htm#BuiltIn

and more particularly, https://autohotkey.com/docs/Variables.htm#ScriptName

Get the path of current script

In RStudio, you can get the path to the file currently shown in the source pane using

rstudioapi::getSourceEditorContext()$path

If you only want the directory, use

dirname(rstudioapi::getSourceEditorContext()$path)

If you want the name of the file that's been run by source(filename), that's a little harder. You need to look for the variable srcfile somewhere back in the stack. How far back depends on how you write things, but it's around 4 steps back: for example,

fi <- tempfile()
writeLines("f()", fi)
f <- function() print(sys.frame(-4)$srcfile)
source(fi)
fi

should print the same thing on the last two lines.

How might I get the script filename from within that script?

var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
var lastScript = scripts[scripts.length-1];
var scriptName = lastScript.src;
alert("loading: " + scriptName);

Tested in: FF 3.0.8, Chrome 1.0.154.53, IE6
