absolute path to directory accessed by right click 'Show Package Contents'

Question

In OS X Mountain Lion when you right click on an *.app icon you get an option to 'Show Package Contents' leading you into 'Contents' directory.

I'm having trouble figuring out the absolute path to the 'Contents' directory for a given *.app

Thanks for Help!

Answer 1

Any .app is just a folder so if an application is in

 /Applications/Safari.app

the Contents directory is

/Applications/Safari.app/Contents

You can also get the path by Cmd-clicking on the folder name at the top of the Finder window.

Answer 2

You can open the terminal app, and then drag any file or folder into it to have the full path displayed in text that you can copy/paste etc.
