Hi Vince,

have you tried to escape the \'s ?

something like:

    cd c:\\foo\\bar


HTH,

hi All,

When I want to change directory in Cygwin I simply copy the path from 
Windows's Command Prompt or Total Commander to Cygwin command line 
like (I do that when path is very long):

cd c:\users\oliver\temp

But it does not work since it can not recognise '\'. So I have to change 
'\' into '/' every time I wanna change directory in Cygwin. Is there a 
solution to this problem?



I tried something with pipelines but no success. I tried for example:

echo 'c:\users\oliver\temp' | sed 's_\\_/_g' | xargs cd

How to properly pipeline these commands?

Thanks
Oliver
