Hi,

I often want to cd to a (DOS) path that I've copied from some Windows App.

The following function (put in one of your startup files .bashrc .profile etc)  
saves a few clicks
and is forward or backslash proof

function cdp() 
{
# cdp(aste)
# description : Cd to path in paste buffer: convert from DOS if required
# set -x
getclip
echo ''
getclip|sed 's#\\#\/#g'|putclip
cd $(getclip)
}

I can already see a few improvements, and it would also be nice to have a check 
that paste buffer
actually contains a path
