function cd() { if [[ "$1" =~ "^\.\.+$" ]];then builtin cd "$(echo $1 | sed -e 's/\.//' -e 's/\./..\//g')";else builtin cd "$@";fi }
test() { local a dir;a=${#1};while [ $a -ne 1 ];do dir=${dir}"../";((a--));done; echo $dir;}
It would be easy enough to incorporate if I could get that test condition to match correctly.cd() { if [[ "$1" =~ ^\.\.+$ ]];then local a dir;a=${#1};while [ $a -ne 1 ];do dir=${dir}"../";((a--));done;builtin cd $dir;else builtin cd "$@";fi ;}
