CP and Ln can't parse windows path ending in wildcard e.g.
ln WINDOWS PATH\* DIRECTORY (3rd form) ln -t DIRECTORY WINDOWS PATH\* (4th form) cp -l WINDOWS PATH\* DIRECTORY all fail returning error message 'cannot stat `WINDOWS PATH\\*': No such file or directory' Workaround: ln WINDOWS PATH/* DIRECTORY ln -t DIRECTORY WINDOWS PATH/* cp -l WINDOWS PATH/* DIRECTORY all appear to work: note forward rather than backward slashes just before wildcard. I am running cygwin 1.7.17-1 and coreutils 8.15-1, calling above commands from cmd.exe 5.2.3790.3959 on Windows Server 2003 sp2 x32. -- 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
