I wasn't suggesting using /cygdrive/c in his java program. His java program is not so much a cygwin issue, as his shell script is. If his java program has file paths that need amending, then since you point out that a cygwin program could be used to help convert the paths in his java program, then, I see, the java program could be relevant to cygwin in that sense. Note java wouldn't understand "c:\blah\a.txt" it could have "c:\\blah\a.txt" though. A search and replace might be easier though, possibly using regex. How do you get cygpath to do make /v into c:\v ? $ cygpath -aw "/v" C:\cygwin\v and not that i'm suggesting it but out of curiousity, can cygpath take a file and convert any linux paths in it to windows paths? how? and if it can't then i'm not sure its use for this. -- 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
