David, Cyrille,
${name//\\//} coding seems to me the most elegant solution.
Code:
i=$1
i=${i//\\//} works perfect.
As far as -u in mks toolkit, here is what help says:
-u
tells the shell to give an error message if an unset
parameter is used in a substitution.
David, I was using MKS Tools - korn shell port for 12 years already on NT. I
evaluated previous version of Uwin and after it hanged few time running
important script, I moved back to $500/license mks tools.
Thank you ,
Gene Golub
