Hi Vince, have you tried to escape the \'s ? something like: cd c:\\foo\\bar HTH, Martin ----- Original Message ---- From: Vince Oliver <vince@complex.elte.hu> To: opensuse@opensuse.org Sent: Wednesday, March 7, 2007 2:49:37 PM Subject: [opensuse] change directorie hi All, When I want to change directory in Cygwin I simply copy the path from Windows's Command Prompt or Total Commander to Cygwin command line like (I do that when path is very long): cd c:\users\oliver\temp But it does not work since it can not recognise '\'. So I have to change '\' into '/' every time I wanna change directory in Cygwin. Is there a solution to this problem? I tried something with pipelines but no success. I tried for example: echo 'c:\users\oliver\temp' | sed 's_\\_/_g' | xargs cd How to properly pipeline these commands?
