cd to the path including space.
Hi all, I want to jump to the following path with a cygwin/bash command: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MiKTeX\2.7\fontconfig\cache In my case, I've the following issues: 1- I only know that use the following command to obtain the the above path's stem: findtexmf psfonts_t1.map this command will give the following result: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MiKTeX\2.7\dvips\config\psfonts_t1.map So I must compose the destination directory based on this path. 2- In the cygwin/bash, the path's delimitor is / instead of \. 3- In the cygwin/bash, if the space are included in the path, it will be troublesome. 4- Furthermore, the cygwin use the following path as the initial part of its path: /cygdrive/c/... So, how can I can get my path and then cd to that path within cygwin/bash? I've tried a bit but failed.
