I would have said that bash is not a damned explorer -- rather, it's
a darn good shell, which can often times be muc

You're welcome, Paul. But I see some streamlining that could be done
since I wrote that xx() alias long ago. I do like Barry's "cygpath
-aw foo/bar | putclip -d" as it likely runs faster.

'echo -n' is not portable (in fact, you can disable it in bash, and it
may misbehave if cygpath outputs a leading - or contains any \); it's
better to use 'printf' for that pur
You could write my solution as:
echo -n `cygpath -aw foo`>/dev/clipboard
though the ` (backtick) notation is deprecated these
days and $(...) is described as preferred. But for many
little things like these I write bash functions (or
aliases, when they work, which they don't here).

Looks like the cygpath line was broken in two, and the closing brace
isn't visibile when reading in Gmail.
Readers take note of that.

This function echoes the present directory to the clipboard, so that I
don't have to enter the path manually.
I use this function in a script that sources when a bash shell is
started. Also echoes the path to the terminal for verification.
Handy for pasting directly into windows file dialogs.

Running bash in a Windows environment, I often find the need to
generate a full Windows path to a file so that I can access the file
from a Windows app.
If I use
cygpath -aw TheFile > /dev/clipboard
I can paste into the Windows file-opener without browsing. Also, I
don't need to mouse around
