From: Ken_McIntyre AT dartcontainer DOT com Subject: apology and question 7 Mar 1998 08:35:33 -0800 Message-ID: <852565BE.004E2586.00.cygnus.gnu-win32@mail.dartcontainer.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Ken McIntyre AT DART CONTAINER CORPORATION 03/05/98 09:35 AM First of all, I would like to apologize to anyone who may have been offended by my remarks regarding beta software. I heard what you said and I do appreciate it Thank you for your help. I also went to b19 as some of you suggested Additionally, I do have another problem I hope someone could help me with. I'm attempting to rename some files within a script. When I key in the following: find $HOMEPATH/zz_bom -name '*.cmd' -print | sed 's/\.cmd//' I get: \users\D20113/zz_bom/create_menu When I key in: find $HOMEPATH/zz_bom -name '*.cmd' -print | sed 's/\.cmd//' | xargs -i@ @.cmd @.sh I get: mv: usersD20113/zz_bom/create_menu.cmd: No such file or directory Notice the backslashes disappear in the file name. I know about the differences in file naming conventions between DOS and Unix, but gnuwin appeared to handle that in most instances. Why do they disappear in this instance? Also, when I key in SET, there doesn't appear to be an environment variable with the forward slashes. Thanks again for all your suggestions and help ken_mcintyre AT dartcontainer DOT com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
