Asked By CuriousCat92 On

I'm having trouble getting my code to run in Bash. I'm trying to use the following command:

```bash
$ cd "e:SculpturesDustbinRandom" && g++ sumthin.cpp -o sumthin && ./sumthin
```

However, I'm only getting limited output and I'm not sure what's going wrong. Any help would be appreciated!

If you're dealing with Windows paths, you may want to convert your path format. Here's a simple function to replace backslashes with forward slashes in your Bash script:
```bash
convert_windows_path() {
local input="$1"
if [[ "$input" == *\* ]]; then
echo "${input//\/}"
else
echo "$input"
fi
}
```
Just call this function with your path as an argument!

Have you checked your global settings? There might be some key settings affecting how paths are interpreted. Make sure your editor settings are optimized for Bash; for example, set your terminal to Git Bash if you're on Windows.

It looks like the issue might be with how you're using backslashes in your path. In Bash, backslashes are used to escape characters, which can cause problems when navigating directories. Try using double backslashes instead to see if that helps your `cd` command work properly.

That's interesting! I also found that if you're using a button to run your code, it could be inserting backslashes instead of forward slashes. You might want to check that setting as well.
