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. – Kusalananda Aug 14 '19 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. – Kaz May 31 '23 at 02:51
