This is wrong. Either backslash-escape the space or use quotes, but not both. You are embedding an actual backslash in the value, which is not what you want. The purpose of the backslash is not to exist in the value of the variable, but to tell the shell not to treat the space as separating two arguments. export FOO="some string" export FOO=some\ string Brian -- 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/
