Hi,
I wanted to transform my CLASSPATH env var settings (yes, I
am using Java :-) from Windows format (semicoln-separated
list of win paths) to Unix format (colon separated list of
unix paths) and here is an excerpt of the script I have written:
#!/bin/bash
# change an env var from Windows format (semicolon separated)
# to Unix format (colon separated)
IFS=@
for i in ${1//;/@}
do
a=${a}:$(cygpath -u $i)
done
echo $a
This works fine but I am wondering if there is something else
given that PATH is automatically converted by cygwin...
Any idea?
bye
Enrico
