hi, I thought I'd write a simple script to allow me to cd to a DOS path that I had in my paste buffer, turned out to be tricky
alias doscd='. doscd' #!bash # doscd # description : convert dos paths result=$(echo $1 | sed "s/\\\/\//g") \cd $result > doscd "c:\temp\fred" That more or less works but I have to quote the "Dos path" and it freaks out if a directory begins with a eg > doscd "c:\aaa\" Cannot find c:/aa/ Cygpath hardly helps because I'd need to backslash (no gain) cygpath --unix C:\\cygwin\\bin\\cygwin.bat Any ideas?1? zzapper (vim & cygwin & zsh) -- vim -c ":%s/^/WhfgTNabgureRIvzSUnpxre/|:%s/[R-T]/ /Ig|:normal ggVGg?" http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=305 Best of Vim Tips -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
