Greetings, All! I'm facing an unacceptable cygpath behavior related to the network shares.
The testcase is: [\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon]$cygpath -u \\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile //DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile [\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon]$cygpath -m \\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile //DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile [\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon]$cygpath -lm \\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile //DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile [\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon]$cygpath -u "\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile" /DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile [\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon]$cygpath -m "\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile" ///DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile [\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon]$cygpath -lm "\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile" ///DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile Only unquoted path producing usable results, but it's not realistically imaginable I would let it run this way. One day I will sure meet a file with "]" in it's name, and the surrounding environment will break. Or, even simpler, I'll hit a filename with spaces... This issue arising in different places of cygwin (originally I got nailed by it when trying to run diff across my now-network profile folder). cygpath is just a closest example I could reach for this message. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 21.06.2011, <9:21> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
