in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg01707.html I thought to
see how I should do this.
The example works fine. But if I create a script that does
the same
echo "$@" | cygpath -w -f -
and call it with
testscript `/bin/ls /bin/ch*`
I get
C:\cygwin\bin\checkgid.exe \bin\chgrp.exe \bin\chmod.exe \bin\chown.exe
\bin\chroot.exe
is it possible that it chokes upon missing newlines (CR/LF)?
Or even worse if I put in the long path:
testscript `/bin/ls /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/ch*`
cygpath: error converting "/cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/checkgid.exe
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/chgrp.exe /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/chmod.exe
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/chown.exe /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/chroot.exe"
or yet worse when I do that on my desktop with three test files a.txt,
aa.txt and aaa.txt:
rhauser at PC:/<3>rhauser/Desktop>
testscript `ls /cygdrive/c/Docume~1/rhauser/Desktop/a*.txt`
c:\Docume~1\rhauser\Desktop\a.txt
\cygdrive\c\Docume~1\rhauser\Desktop\aa.txt
\cygdrive\c\Docume~1\rhauser\Desktop\aaa.txt
so the first path is converted properly while number 2 and 3 are wrong?
Any thoughts?
