I looked at updatedb (it's a shell script), and the --prunepaths argument is passed through a sed script which replaces spaces in order to turn it all into a regexp. There's no way of telling sed to avoid some spaces and translate others. You used to be able to set the internal PRUNEREGEX variable directly, in a .conf file, but apparently that file is only used under Linux versions of updatedb, or something. Most lists of dirs are passed around with colon (or some such) separators to avoid just such problems with paths containing whitespace. updatedb is still living in the 80's. -- 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/
