hi,
I thought I'd write a simple script to allow me to cd to a DOS path
that I had in my paste buffer, turned out to be tricky

alias doscd='. doscd'
#!bash
# doscd
# description : convert dos paths
result=$(echo $1 | sed "s/\\\/\//g")
\cd $result


> doscd "c:\temp\fred"

That more or less works but I have to quote the "Dos path" and it
freaks out if a directory begins with a

eg
> doscd "c:\aaa\"
Cannot find c:/aa/

Cygpath hardly helps because I'd need to backslash (no gain)

cygpath --unix C:\\cygwin\\bin\\cygwin.bat

Any ideas?1?
