Hi folk, I have ported a bash-script from UNIX to cygwin and have the Problem that test says that the file exist but there is no file with the given Name.

Here come some command to reproduce the problem.


Wed Apr 21  12:36:00  556 ls -al;  if [ -e "load_evu.ctl." ] ;then echo "load_evu.ctl." exists;fi;
insgesamt 1
drwxr-xr-x+   2 F.Braunb Domänen-        0 21. Apr 12:28 .
drwxr-xr--+  12 F.Braunb ????????        0 21. Apr 12:19 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 F.Braunb Domänen-      285 21. Apr 12:35 load_evu.ctl
load_evu.ctl. exists

When I go on in the script and working with a file which does not exist I run in trouble.

Any idea how to fix it that test says the file exists?

Regards 

    Franz
