The thing is
ls \temp or ls temp specify a relative path, ie search in the current directory for temp and list the items
ls /temp specifies an absolute path from the root! ie / so you are asking him a completely different thing. If you want the temp on your c drive, you need to specify /cygdrive/c/temp !!
Or, just do as Corona688 says, and push 'man sed' or man tr

Hi experts,
I was wondering if there is a way to access some NFS symlink files that are set using absolute paths from Windows?
On windows/cygwin, I'm able to access relative path symlinks but not the absolute path symlinks.
Assume on Linux (mylinux):

Well I have a lot of scripts that require dragging and dropping files in order to define Source files etc.
However more often then not it is the case that the path to said file contains NUMEROUS spaces.
I know one way to evade this problem is to encase the path in Quotes like this:

cr(1) General Commands Manual cr(1)
NAME
cr - converts text files between nix EOL and dos EOL
SYNOPSIS
cr - | + <input file> <output file>
DESCRIPTION
Text files, such as tle files, that come from a dos source usualy have the ^M symbol at the end of every line. Cr converts files between
the dos newline format and the normal *nix newline format by stripping the ^M to convert dos to *nix, using the '-' option, or adding ^M to
a *nix file to create the proper dos file when the '+' option is used.
Although this extra character is not often a problem, programs like seesat5, which are data driven will encounter parsing problems when the
extra character is present. It is these problems that cr is intended to repair.
Options
- | + One or the other of these options is required. The '-' option is used to remove ^M from all newlines found in the dos file. The '+'
option is used to add ^M to every newline found in a *nix file.
input file
Fully delineated path to the input file. As this program is used in the dos environment as well, standard input is not used.
output file
Fully delineated path to the output file. As this program is used in the dos environment as well, standart output is not used.
SEE ALSO
seesat5(1), seesat5(7), SEESAT5.INI(5), tle(5)
BUGS
Cr is not an inteligent program. It methodicaly replaces/removes the offending character when it finds it in the correct context. Newline
sequences found in contexts other than 'newline' will be replaced/removed just like those found in the proper context. Passing a binary
file through cr is not advised, for this reason. Send all inqueries to Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>.
