Well, we'd need to see the bat file to be sure, but chances are you're out of luck. I'm guessing it's doing something like bash -c "somecommand c:\some\path\here" then there's nothing you can do - by the time somecommand sees the pathname, the backslashes are gone. and there's no way it can figure out where they went. You don't have to change them to forward slashes, you just need to quote them: bash -c "somecommand 'c:\some\path\here'" But if you can't change the batch file, then I can't think of any workarounds. Maybe someone else can... but I don't know why you'd have batch files calling Cygwin commands that can't be modified to use Cygwin conventions. -- Mark J.
