     @thisisthebreath @DaemonFools that's not a script. that's an abomination of an exec arg to find.

     Theres many better and more legible ways to do it, but with that obligatory comment out of the way, I'm quite sure there's an argument to find that gives you the full path instead of relative

     @DaemonFools im trying to call a file relative to other files. the script is recursively processing a list of directories, each one has a set of flac files and a foldersm.jpg that is unique to each folder. i cant figure out how to create a relative path to foldersm.jpg so i can run all the folders, i have to run them one at a time with a /absolute/path/to/foldersm.jpg

     There's no query or script or code in the OP.

     @thisisthebreath @DaemonFools I can't seem to find it, so perhaps its an extension in some versions of find. in that case you can just incorporate a call to "realpath" into that, or use "xargs", or just make it a proper executable shell script

     @thisisthebreath @DaemonFools
     something like, off the top of my head on my phone:

     #!/bin/sh
     for f in `find $1 -name '*.flac'`; do
     mkdir -p somedir # does nothing if dir exists
     IN=`realpath $f`
     OUT=`$IN.output`
     flac blahblah
     done

     you can customize from there for what you want, more args to the script, etc

     @thisisthebreath @DaemonFools yeah, you had something like that in your original version. you may want to use something like OUTF="`dirname $IN`/encoded"
     mkdir -p $OUTF
     OUT="${OUTF}/$f.flac"

     or something along those lines
