Re: File path to URI
> Has anyone seen a command line tool for converting path (e.g. /cygdrive/h/privat/news_alert.conf) to file URI (file:///cygdrive/h/privat/news_alert.conf)
>
> Yes, tweaking with string concatenation or calling some java code would be a way, though I would prefer some proper command within the cygwin - bash domain.
