I am calling an input file from a script which lists files in windows path format. Attempting to convert those paths with the unix format one line at a time, but it is not functioning from within the script.
If I do a
winpath2unix c:\temp\test\testing\test.txt from within the ksh script, I get
/dev/fs/C/temptesttestingtest.txt
However, if I use winpath2unix from the windows command prompt,
it works fine.
I think I must be missing something, since the logical drive gets mapped correctly, it just doesn't convert the back slash to forward slash from within ksh.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

The backslash ("\") is the escape character meaning that the next character is to
be taken as a literal (unless your doing echo then it'll have special meaning).
You need to escape the escape character so it is taken literally ("\\").
This is true for all Unix shells.
So:
winpath2unix c:\\temp\\test\\testing\\test.txt
dev/fs/C/temp/test/testing/test.txt

I figured as much, but was just hoping for some 'magic' with winpath2unix when reading file names from an input file. So sed to add the second backslash and pipe it through winpath2unix...

Or use single quotes, like
winpath2unix 'c:\tmp\foobar'
