Not particularly. I was just reusing the example from http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html I don't think what I want to do is going to work, TBH. It goes back to a previous thread about using "DOS" tools from inside Cygwin's emacs and the resulting path-style clash. Someone (I think it was you, actually) suggested script should handle the paths spewed out from the tool, converting them to Cygwin/Unix style paths. It looks like cygpath tries to convert every line of (for example) '-f -' though. Since the tool output is mixed paths and text, I'd hoped cygpath made "intelligent" guesses about what was and was not likely to be a path. -- Gary Non-kook (allegedly) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
