cygpath -w space becomes line breaks?

cygpath -w space becomes line breaks?

[斟酌鵬兄]

Hi,

Is this intended or am I misconfiguring something?

penguin@MY-PC~/Documents/Visual Studio 2015/Projects
$ cygpath -w `pwd`
D:\penguin\Documents\Visual
Studio
2015\Projects

penguin@MY-PC~/Documents/Visual Studio 2015/Projects
$ cygpath -w `pwd` | xxd
00000000: 443a 5c70 656e 6775 696e 5c44 6f63 756d  D:\penguin\Docum
00000010: 656e 7473 5c56 6973 7561 6c0a 5374 7564  ents\Visual.Stud
00000020: 696f 0a32 3031 355c 5072 6f6a 6563 7473  io.2015\Projects
00000030: 0a                                       .

As you can see the dir "Visual Studio 2015" being broken into lines.

You have to quote any arguments that may contain spaces in the shell,
else they get parsed as separate words and later interpreted as separate
arguments to cygpath.

Ooooh thanks I do it like cygpath -w "`pwd`" and now it works now.

There's an easier way to achieve the same without a subshell call.

cygpath -alw .
