Precise path file to patch

I have this patch:

--- do.c	2015-03-10 07:43:04.000000000 -0500
+++ /home/userx/Downloads/do.c	2015-03-10 13:35:58.254807970 -0500
@@ -63,6 +63,7 @@
 #define FIRST_UP_HPVENDOR2        0xff010000
 #define FIRST_UP_MSVENDOR		0xff000000
 #define FIRST_UP_CUSTOM		0x00ff0000
+#define FIRST_UP_ASUSVENDOR	0xff310000
 #define FIRST_UP_LOGIVENDOR	0xffbc0000
 #define FIRST_UP_LOGIVENDOR2   0xff090000
 #define FIRST_UP_LOGIVENDOR3   0xff430000

how can I make so that when I run `patch -Np1 -i "this.patch"` it automatically patches at "./include/do.c" without asking me the actual path?

Re: Precise path file to patch

Combination of the correct number of path elements to remove using the -p parameter and manually changing directory first or using

       -d dir  or  --directory=dir
          Change to the directory dir immediately, before doing anything else.

Please post code in code tags.

fixed.. So the patch command should be `patch -d ./include/ -Np1 -i "../this.patch"`?

Yes if the command worked and the result was correct.

Re: Precise path file to patch

Is there a file ./include/home/userx/Downloads/do.c and is that the file you want to patch?  I doubt it.
