Hi,
Mysql has now moved under c:/program files/
My backup bash script will run correctly if I use the follwing syntax
/cygdrive/c/program\ files/mysql/MySQL\ Server\ 4.1/bin/mysqldump.exe $params
However it doesn't work if I try to load the above into a variable
eg
mysqldump='/cygdrive/c/program\ files/mysql/MySQL\ Server\ 4.1/bin/mysqldump.exe'
I get "/cygdrive/c/program\: No such file or directory..."
Is this just hard luck?
