You can use the following line

Right, this will work in most cases. But will fail if $HOME happens to
contains % sign.
The version I have suggested in
you can use a different separator in the sed command.

echo 123 | sed "s%2%${HOME}%g"
Right, this will work in most cases. But will fail if $HOME happens to
contains % sign.
The version I have suggested in the previous post is more robust.

Hi Fergus,
The problem is $HOME contains '/' character used as delimited in
regex. You need to escape it first:
HOME_ESCAPED=`echo "$HOME" | sed 's#/#/#g'`
echo 123 | sed "s/2/$HOME_ESCAPED/g"
It is not cygwin-specific.
Cheers,

I'm not the expert on cygwin.exe, but there might be an easier way to
solve you problem.
For POSIX shell scripts you could keep a symlink /my-usb-stick pointing
to /cygdrive/X, and use that symlink in your scripts. Similarly, for
Windows batch scripts you keep drive mapping with native Windows
