References: <200103281610 DOT IAA28947 AT california DOT sandia DOT gov> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi! Thanx for the tip. For a while I had hope. Unfortunately when I use the command in a .csh-file cygpath, like tr and sed, also replaces space with a :. I write like this: set path = `cygpath -p -u "${PATH}"` and out comes the distorted PATH as described before. I really think this is a problem with my settings. However if noone knows the solution at least cygpath helps me find the correct short names for my path Best regards Johan friedman_hill ernest j wrote: > > Use the "cygpath" path translation utility that comes with > cygwin.
