I've tested the above code and work it out like this:
set cygwin_bin=C:\cygwin\bin
%cygwin_bin%\bash -l %~dp0myscript > myresult
In the above example by me, we need to pay attention to the following
matters:
1- %~dp0myscript mean that the file myscript is located at the same
directory as the bat file, i.e, the batch file which include the above
patch codes I posted here. This batch file will invoke the bash
script file myscript.
2- the -c parameter used by you shouldn't be used here, if I used it,
I will meet the errors like this:
... command not found
3- The --login or -l must be used here, otherewise the following error
will be occur like this:
myscript: line 1: awk : command not found
4- The path name conventions in the invoking of this batch file, the
dos rule, i.e., _\_, should be used instead of the bash convention,
i.e., _/_, as the delimitor of path.
5- In your case,
>d:\> bash -c ./myscript
actully, in the usage, the file myscript must ba put into the bash's
directory, i.e., C:\cygwin\bin. This is not a convenient solution.
