However, how do you specify paths with spaces in them in this mode? It seems quoting the path or using \ doesn't seem to work. E.g: $cygpath --windows --file - "/usr/local/my dir/" "\usr\local\my dir\" $ cygpath --windows --file - /usr/local/my\ dir/ C:\cygwin\usr\local\my\ dir\ Cheers, Jon -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
