In a Windows/Linux environment, I'm having trouble with copying and pasting file system links to AND from! Right now, I use Gitbash (uses / for folder/subf ) which has been helpful. BUt it wants directories like this:

/c/Users/me/Documents/clamchowdah.txt (Non-windows) 
=
C:\Users\me\Documents\clamchowdah.txt (Windows)

Is my only option to use awk or sed or is there some facility I can use?

    It is not clear where you have this pathname, and whether you want to convert it to the Windows style or to the Unix style. Commented Aug 14, 2019 at 15:26

  • On every Microsoft operating system since MS-DOS, both the / and \ characters were supported as path separators. If you are not able to use forward slashes on Windows, it's due to a problem in the application; it's applying some invalid check or other processing and not just passing the path down to the OS.
