on Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:13:12 -0600, Eric Blake <4C7FE938.6060806@redhat.com> attacked their terminal with [stuff relating to Win32 paths] Here's a sed script I use to get around that... Put this in your script (or ~/.bashrc) and enjoy function wintocyg { if [ "x${$1}" == "x" ]; then return 1 fi echo $1 | sed 's/\([a-zA-Z]\)\:/\/cygdrive\/\1/g;s:\\:/:g' } This: - checks that there is an argument. - Converts that argument using a sed script that looks for a drive letter, :\ and converts that into a Cygdrive path. This works for root level stuff ("d:\") and for deeply nested things (like d:\ping\me_with\a hundred boxes of\liquor). Pretty Simple Stuff, but its a pain. I've used this for a while now. I know its a hack but its /works/. You could easily make it escape ' '* but I'm assuming you're calling it using "`wintocyg mypath`" ( /always/ escape your paths ) * that would be done by taking and actually wrapping the entire function around an echo statement like  echo "\"`echo $1 ...`\""  -- Morgan Gangwere Key ID A8B6F243, available from MIT.
