I can. I already had a look into this. The command line handling in Cygwin is different from the command line handling in MingW or, FWIW, VC++ CLI applications. The question is if we really should align the rules how a native command line is evaluated by a Cygwin process should be aligned to Windows rules or not. There are three arguments to consider: - Using Windows/MingW rules lowers the surprise. - Changing the rules at all breaks backward compatibility. - Why shouldn't Cygwin applications use their own rules which seem more appropriate for a POSIX application? Btw., if you want the same result as for the noncygchild, just quote: $ cygchild "a\"b\"c" Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com Red Hat, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
