It seems to be a quoting problem. This is what I was doing:
$ ttt="$(cygpath -u "$JAVA_HOME")"
$ echo $ttt
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_10
$ cd $ttt
bash: cd: /cygdrive/c/Program: No such file or directory
$ cd "$ttt"
$pwd
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_10
Is is possible to setup the variable to not require the double quotes?
Since my other method doesn't require the double quotes, it would
make the scripting much easier. I wouldn't need to keep track of which
variables I had to double quote.
$ tttt="$(cygpath -u "$(cygpath -m -s "$JAVA_HOME")")"
$ echo $tttt
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/Java
$ cd $tttt
$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/Java
Notice that I can use $tttt directly without have to use the double quote.
thanks,

I am trying to use cygpath -u to convert my windows path to an unix path
in my shell script. However, it has problems with paths that has spaces
in it. For example, "cygpath -u c:\Program Files\Java" is converted to
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Java, which doesn't work. Is there a flag
that I am missing?
I came up with the following, but it seems wrong.
$ cygpath -u "$(cygpath -m -s "c:\Program Files\Java")"
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/Java
Thanks,
