I don't know if this helps in your situation but if you just want to convert slashes you can use something like: $ echo //nsk1prn02/c304_p | sed -e 's,/,\\,g' \\nsk1prn02\c304_p or perhaps something like print /d:`echo $PRINTER | sed -e 's,/,\\,g'` `cygpath -w "$FILENAME"` Brian -- 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/
