linux shell script to run an executable file in current folder

Question

I have an executable file always in /home/a called toUpperCase.

Now I am in the folder /home/bla/blabla/b where I have a text file to be converted to uppercase (toConvert.txt). All I want to do is a script that executed in /home/bla/blabla/b does something like

#!/bin/bash
./"/home/a/toUpperCase" toConvert.txt

So in the end I should have converted.txt in the folder /home/bla/blabla/b

But it gives me an error like line 2: .//home/a/toUpperCase: does not exist

How can I resolve this problem? thank you!

Change your script to:

#!/bin/bash
"/home/a/toUpperCase" toConvert.txt
