From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Markus Hoenicka To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: semicolon colon separated env vars to unix and viceversa Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2001 10:13:00 -0000 Message-id: <15338.52203.461000.127354@gargle.gargle.HOWL> References: X-SW-Source: 2001-11.t/msg00465.html The question is why you would want to do this in the first place. I'm not aware of a Cygwin JRE, and if you use Sun's native Win32 JRE, it will not understand the Unix format afaik. regards, Markus Enrico Spinielli writes: > 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 > > > -- > Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple > Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html > Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html > FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ > -- Markus Hoenicka, PhD UT Houston Medical School Dept. of Integrative Biology and Pharmacology 6431 Fannin MSB4.114 Houston, TX 77030 (713) 500-6313, -7477 (713) 500-7444 (fax) Markus.Hoenicka@uth.tmc.edu http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hoenicka_markus/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
