Hi,
I run into a strange problem while using sed from a cmd.exe shell.
The problem is not sed specific and the following lines demonstrate it with /bin/echo.
From cmd.exe: C:\>\cygwin\bin\echo.exe '1 \ 2 \\ 3 \\\ 4 \\\\ 5 \\\\\ 6 \t' 1 \ 2 \ 3 \\ 4 \\ 5 \\\ 6 \t
It looks like each \\ is translated into \. Like escaping for special characters, but it doesn't happen for single \.
This effect doesn't happen in bash: $ /bin/echo.exe '1 \ 2 \\ 3 \\\ 4 \\\\ 5 \\\\\ 6 \t' 1 \ 2 \\ 3 \\\ 4 \\\\ 5 \\\\\ 6 \t
Bug or feature? I didn't find anything about this in <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html>.
Ah, yes, $ uname -s -r CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.10(0.116/4/2)
