patch problem with forward/backward slashes in patch file


Sorry if this is answered somewhere, but I had a heck of time
searching the archive for this subject - patch is a pretty popular
word.

I am having problem with patch in that it doesn't recognize forward
slashed paths inside the patch file so it can't find the file to
patch. If I cut and paste the exact same path in response to its "File
to patch:" query then it continues happily. This happens from bash or
from the windows command line.

Below is a sample session.

thanks,

dave


$ patch -d . -i dgrPatches/zip.diff

Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
