Try: "/cygdrive/c/david/adv/roy" in place of "c:\david\adv\roy" The shell perhaps considers '\r' as an escape character? -----Original Message----- From: VanRossem, James [mailto:James DOT VanRossem AT exchange DOT fleetsecurities DOT com] Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 10:34 AM To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: Problem w/ cygwin tar.exe: Unable to tar directories beginning w/ the letter 'R' in NT 4.0 Hi all, Basically when i run tar -cvfz file.tgz c:david\adv\roy I get an error oy: No such file or directory Any ideas? or work arounds?
