Hi, Cygwin support group, I have problem to touch a file when specify the full path. Here are some examples. MKS works fine
-- Filename with special characters D:\>touch D:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()_+ ) was unexpected at this time. -- With the quote on filename D:\>touch D:\usr\meta\boxster\UNITw2kMixednew\boxster_UNITw2kMixednew_0205\Tree\"[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()_+" touch: cannot touch `D:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()_+': No such file or directory -- We can touch a file with the double quota in DOS cmd window. D:\>touch "D:[EMAIL PROTECTED]()[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()_+" D:\usr\meta\boxster\boxster_UNITw2kMixednew\boxster_UNITw2kMixednew_0205\Tree>ls [EMAIL PROTECTED]()[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()_+ --- If we put this touch command in windows batch file -- (clone.bat) file, it won't work. SET TEST_SERVER=D:\usr\meta\boxster\UNITw2kMixednew\boxster_UNITw2kMixednew_0205\Tree touch "[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()_+" <== (we try touch without quote, same result) --- run .bat file D:\usr\meta\boxster\boxster_UNITw2kMixednew\boxster_UNITw2kMixednew_0205>cmd /c clone.bat touch: cannot touch `D:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()_+': No such file or directory Do you know why is that and how do we make it work in .bat file? Thanks a lot for your help!
