Howto get full path of current file in vim?

Question

When I go to command mode and type

:!mycommand %

I get my command executed on the current file (% is expanded to the current file name). Is there a similar construct that expands the full file name (with the full path)?

I am using windows.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Append :p, e.g.

:!mycommand %:p

And %:p:h will give you the path of the directory that the file resides in.

Answer 2

:!mycommand %:p
