Re: allow executing a path in backslash notation

The problem is that DOS paths are treated differently, even within the same program. Take for instance, bash: $ builtin test -x "$WINDIR\system32\cmd.exe" && echo ok yes $ builtin exec "$WINDIR\system32\cmd.exe" /C echo ok -bash: exec: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe: not found That makes a lot of he

Thomas, you are right, it is rather an issue with bash: when does not see a slash in the command name, it starts path searching, and of course finds nothing. Looks like a bug. $ "$WINDIR\system32\cmd.exe" /c echo ok bash: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe: command not found $ "$WINDIR/system32\cmd.exe"
