My cmd script use CALL statement, thus it is a little more complex than a simple sed. I've hope that somebody has done a little dos command interpreter that could interpret simple .cmd files .. I'll translate my cmd files into sh language. thanks again On Mon, 30 Aug 2004, Christophe.Delarue wrote: > Newbie in window$ ... > > I search in doc, web and never find something that can interpret dos > command like .bat or .cmd files in the cygwin env "cmd /c blah.bat" > The .bat files I'd like to execute, set env variables required for a > compilation process > Is this definitly impossible ? Yes. The environment changes made in the batch files won't be visible in the shell that executed them. If you run something from the batch file itself, though, you'll see the environment changes. > I Only saw it wasn't possible, but do someone did a convertion at > running time ? If all your batch file does are "set"s (and maybe "rem"s), a simple sed script should produce something that can easily be "eval"ed. If you want something more complex, you're basically on your own...
