I would like to have used something like cd $USERPROFILE in a bash script but since windows insists on putting spaces in names, this seems impossible. I did find a usecase where the spaces in c:\Documents and Settings\username were tripple quoted. However, this did not work for me. Bash still wanted to split on the space. Is there any cool utility that could be used like cleanpath=pathcleaner($USERPROFILE) cd $cleanpath I know this is a consistent issue with cygwin. There really needs to be a good solution. -- -- 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/
