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 ...`\"" »
