Cygwin itself is case preserving, but case insensitive. Other tools are not so flexible on case. In my case I have some issues with incorrect case and my makefile.
Consider if I had a directory /foo/BAR. Cygwin will let you actually do "cd /Foo/bar" and work happily. Pwd will actually return "/Foo/bar" instead of the real path in this case. It would be really helpful to have a way given a string like "/Foo/bar" to convert that to the real correct case "/foo/BAR". But I'm having trouble finding an easy, convenient way to do that. As I said pwd doesn't do it nor does cygpath. One way that works is to turn the path into a pattern. You can do "ls /Foo/bar*" but that will return multiple strings if there is more than one file that starts with BAR. You can do "ls /Foo/ba[r]" but then how do I easily add the brackets into the string? I've tried various things with find, but none do the conversion. Anyone have a good idea how to do this conversion. -- 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/
