This is the observation I made wrt to the command line delimiters for batch files. cmd.exe delimiters ============== space, equalto(=) semicolon (;) comma(,) cygwin 1.7.27 delimiters ================== space quotes("") equalto(=) comma(,) cygwin 1.7.28 delimiters =================== space quotes("") comma(,) equalto(=) not supported Was there any reason why just =(equalto) was removed as a command line separator for cygwin 1.7.28 , while the other delimiters like comma are still supported ? This is causing existing batch files that use equalto(=) as a command line delimiter to fail with cygwin 1.7.28 thanks, Prakash -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
