I'm attempting to script building mount points in order to handle spaces in file names. So I do something like this: homedir=`cygpath -w $USERPROFILE` mount -buf "\"$homedir\" $HOME/myh When I echo the mount command to the syntax looks correct. However, when I actually run the mount command via the script I get the message there are not enough parameters, like mount is not getting what it needs. Dealing with spaces is a huge pain... but this seems be one way to handle them. Any idea why mount is unhappy when scripted as shown above? -- -- David Bear College of Public Programs at Arizona State University -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
