I have done 5 tests: 1) Windows path one folder - It works! $ ls -la c:\windows ls: c:windows/CSC: total 23080 drwxr-xr-x 64 k Administradores 28672 Jan 18 19:48 . drwxsr-xr-x 22 k Administradores 16384 Feb 6 16:38 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 k Administradores 5242934 Nov 5 08:30 BGInfo.bmp ... 2) POSIX path one folder -> It works! $ ls -la c:/windows ls: c:/windows/CSC: total 23080 drwxr-xr-x 64 k Administradores 28672 Jan 18 19:48 . drwxr-xr-x 22 k Administradores 16384 Feb 6 16:38 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 k Administradores 5242934 Nov 5 08:30 BGInfo.bmp ... 3) POSIX path subfolder (ADAM) -> It works! $ ls -la c:/windows/ADAM total 3384 drwxr-xr-x 37 k Administradores 4096 Mar 20 2012 . drwxr-xr-x 64 k Administradores 28672 Jan 18 19:48 .. -rwxr-xr-x 2 k Administradores 253952 Nov 20 2010 ADSchemaAnalyzer.exe ... 4) Windows path subfolder (ADAM) -> It doesn't works! $ ls -la c:\windows\ADAM ls: c:windowsADAM: No such file or directory 5) Windows path subfolder (ADAM) QUOTED -> It works! $ ls -la "c:\windows\ADAM" total 3384 drwxr-xr-x 37 k Administradores 4096 Mar 20 2012 . drwxr-xr-x 64 k Administradores 28672 Jan 18 19:48 .. -rwxr-xr-x 2 k Administradores 253952 Nov 20 2010 ADSchemaAnalyzer.exe My question is: Why test 4 doesn't work? If there is only one folder, it works (test 1). I don't understand why adding subfolders fails. Is there any reason? I'm doing something wrong? Why test 5 works? I think that quoting here is not necessary. But In fact I don't mind if works with quotes. My real question is test 4. Thanks a lot. --14dae9cdc3f3ff325604d53757d9 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">Hello, </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">After reading some documentation about PATHS, <a href="http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion">http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion</a></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">I have some problems doing a trivial "ls" with windows paths (no spaces). </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">I have done 5 tests: </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">1) Windows path one folder - It works!</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">$ ls -la c:\windows</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">ls: c:windows/CSC: </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">total 23080</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">drwxr-xr-x 64 k Administradores 28672 Jan 18 19:48 .</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">drwxsr-xr-x 22 k Administradores 16384 Feb 6 16:38 ..</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">-rw-r--r-- 1 k Administradores 5242934 Nov 5 08:30 BGInfo.bmp</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">... </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"> <br></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">2) POSIX path one folder -> It works!</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">$ ls -la c:/windows</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">ls: c:/windows/CSC: </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">total 23080</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">drwxr-xr-x 64 k Administradores 28672 Jan 18 19:48 .</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">drwxr-xr-x 22 k Administradores 16384 Feb 6 16:38 ..</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">-rw-r--r-- 1 k Administradores 5242934 Nov 5 08:30 BGInfo.bmp</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">...</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">3) POSIX path subfolder (ADAM) -> It works!</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">$ ls -la c:/windows/ADAM</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">total 3384</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">drwxr-xr-x 37 k Administradores 4096 Mar 20 2012 .</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">drwxr-xr-x 64 k Administradores 28672 Jan 18 19:48 ..</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">-rwxr-xr-x 2 k Administradores 253952 Nov 20 2010 ADSchemaAnalyzer.exe</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">...</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">4) Windows path subfolder (ADAM) -> It doesn't works!</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">$ ls -la c:\windows\ADAM</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">ls: c:windowsADAM: No such file or directory</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">5) Windows path subfolder (ADAM) QUOTED -> It works!</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">$ ls -la "c:\windows\ADAM"</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">total 3384</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">drwxr-xr-x 37 k Administradores 4096 Mar 20 2012 .</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">drwxr-xr-x 64 k Administradores 28672 Jan 18 19:48 ..</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">-rwxr-xr-x 2 k Administradores 253952 Nov 20 2010 ADSchemaAnalyzer.exe</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">My question is: Why test 4 doesn't work? </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">If there is only one folder, it works (test 1). </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">I don't understand why adding subfolders fails. </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">Is there any reason? </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">I'm doing something wrong? </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">Why test 5 works? </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">I think that quoting here is not necessary. </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0cm" lang="en-US">But In fact I don't mind if works with quotes.
