Minor border case: Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2003 16:06:30 -0800 Message-ID: <000601c2f650$37800ab0$1403a8c0@sc.tlinx.org> X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 Valid filename created by app: \Documents and Settings\law\My Documents\win\registry2\regtweaks\Kellys_XP_Tweaks\download.com.com\clear\redx\c.gif-ts=-104976066&edId=3&prtnr=CNET+Networks,+Inc.& oid=3000-2094-10126096&ptId=3000&onId=2094&sId=4&asId=10126096&pId=10126096&asType=Product exactly 255 characters long. Unfortunately, there is a bit of a 'normalization problem'. If one does a 'updatedb', it complains that "C:\\Documents and Settings\law\My Documents\win\registry2\regtweaks\Kellys_XP_Tweaks\download.com.com\clear\redx\c.gif-ts=-104976066&edId=3&prtnr=CNET+Networks,+Inc.& oid=3000-2094-10126096&ptId=3000&onId=2094&sId=4&asId=10126096&pId=10126096&asType=Product" is too long a filename (and at 258 characters, it is), however if it were normalized to either cygwin (using native normalization semantics) to either the above w/o "C:\" or just "/c/Doc..." then it should work. Similar bug is in 'cmd.exe' (XP), but at least in "bash", you can put double quotes around the string and it will work with 'ls'. Not sure of the best way to address it, but believe it or not I have 3 files with such weird names. -linda -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
