Is there a way to find out in a bash script the cygdrive prefix?
I thought something simple like
mount -p|tail -1|cut -f1
but that incorrectly assumed the fields were tab delimited.
Since there can be spaces in the cygdrive prefix, I can't
use space a delimiter, example:
# mount -p
Prefix Type Flags
/cyg drive posix path system binmode

There may be a simpler way to do it, but this seems to work:
mount -p | sed -n '2s/\([^ ]\) *[^ ][^ ]* *[^ ][^ ]*$/\1/p'
This is shorter:
mount -p | sed -nr '2s/([^ ]) +\S+ +\S+$/\1/p'
Neither of which work if there is a space in the cygdrive prefix; viz a
viz:
Prefix Type Flags
/cyg drive posix path system binmode
However,
mount -p | sed -nr '2s/([^ ].*) +\S+ +\S+/\1/p'
does the trick.
Oops! I meant also to add that
mount -p | sed -nr '2s/(.*) +\S+ +\S+/\1/p'
is even a shorter version.
