That is exactly what I did, but I had to decompose the
list of path before using it...

Just use "cygpath -p -u $CLASSPATH". That does everything you're trying to
do here.

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

Ciao, Enrico
You can try the "cygpath" utility to perform this task.

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.

Markus
