A common problem is, that in scripts that uses gygwin and NT command line utilities I have to covert the filenames from NT to cygwin and vice versa. Sample: //e/d/cxx/aproject <-> e:\d\cxx\aproject /usr/local/myfiles <-> d:\unixfs\usr\local\myfiles /cdrom/x/file <-> x:\file ../dir/output <-> .\dir\output What I need is a (two) utilities which can convert these filenames ufn2dfn [u]nix[f]ile[n]ame2[d]os[f]ile[n]ame and dfn2ufn [d]os[f]ile[n]ame2[u]nix[f]ile[n]ame ufilelist="//e/d/cxx/aproject /usr/local/myfiles /cdrom/x/file ./dir/output" for i in $ufilelist; do a_ntutility `ufn2dfn "$i"` done dfn2ufn is quite simple and can done with a few sed calls. ufn2dfn is a little more complicated, because it has to evaluate the mount table. If I didn't overlook a simpler solution I would suggest to integrate this into the cygwin package. Alternatively it can be integrated into the ls or mount command.
