Asked By CleverPineapple27 On

I'm having trouble running my code in Bash. Here's the command I'm trying to execute:

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

But I'm just getting an error and not sure what's going wrong. Can anyone help?

If you're running a global setting in your IDE, check if the path separator is set correctly. In your configuration, I noticed that `code-runner.pathSeparator` is set to "/", which should help. Just ensure that your commands are consistent with that.

Great catch! Consistency in path separators is key, especially in mixed environments. I had similar issues before adjusting my settings.

It looks like you're using backslashes in your directory path, which can cause issues in Bash since they escape the next character. Try replacing the backslashes with forward slashes instead. Something like this:

```bash
cd "e:/Sculptures/Dustbin/Random/" && g++ sumthin.cpp -o sumthin && ./sumthin
```

Thanks for the tip! I also heard that if you're using a specific IDE, the settings might be affecting how paths are handled. Make sure that your IDE is configured to use forward slashes as well.

You might also want to define a function to convert your Windows paths to a format Bash can use. Here's a quick function you could add:

```bash
convert_windows_path() {
local input="$1"
if [[ "$input" == *\* ]]; then
echo "${input//\//}"
else
echo "$input"
fi
}
```

This will help replace backslashes with forward slashes when needed.
