so I created a file "hey.txt" in my current directory, .

next, I wrote the command

export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)
echo $PATH to make sure the directory is in my path, it is.

then I wrote /hey.txt and received the message:

"-bash: /hey.txt: No such file or directory"

but when I write ./hey.txt it opens my file

I'm confused. I though that if I added the directory of a file to the path, I could simply use the / command and it would open my file.

edit: I figured it out myself... no need for the "/" character before the filename if the directory is already in the PATH. If a moderator could please delete this thread I would appreciate it :)
