Re: Strange cygpath behavior.

Hi!

Unacceptable? Perhaps your quoting skills and expectations fall
into that category...

I think you mean cygpath -u \\\\DAEMON1\\anrdaemon\\.profile

> [\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon]$cygpath -m \\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile
> //DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile

I think you mean cygpath -m //DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile

(-m expects posix path arguments)

> [\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon]$cygpath -lm \\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile
> //DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile

I think you mean cygpath -lm //DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile

> [\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon]$cygpath -u "\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile"
> /DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile

I think you mean cygpath -u "\\\\DAEMON1\\anrdaemon\\.profile"

> [\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon]$cygpath -m "\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile"
> ///DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile

I think you mean cygpath -m "//DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile"

> [\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon]$cygpath -lm "\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile"

I think you mean cygpath -lm "//DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile"
