But I'm a bit confused here. Quoted from the FAQ: "There is some ambiguity in going from a Windows path to the posix path, because different posix paths, through different mount points, could map to the same Windows directory" It doesn't answer my question. The ambiguity lie in choosing a Posix mounting point(e.g. /cygdrive/d vs. //d). But the fact is, "d:" is already a Win32 mounting point(under Win2k, try "mountvol")! If bash acknowledge this, there will be no ambiguity in searching for sub paths. After all, bash is just doing file completion for convenience purpose. I don't see how textmode/binmode get in the way. -wyang -----Original Message----- From: flognat@localhost.localdomain [mailto:flognat@localhost.localdomain]On Behalf Of Andrew Markebo Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 5:35 PM To: Weichang Yang Cc: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: File Completion doesn't work for absolute path? / Andrew Markebo wrote: | [...] | FAQ http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC33 *sigh* of course I mean http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC45 not section 33.. /Andy -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
