How to convert Dos paths to Posix paths in Powershell

+3
−0

What is the best way to convert Dos paths to Posix paths in Powershell? eg given:

C:\Program Files\PowerShell\Modules\

I want something like:

/Program\ Files/PowerShell/Modules/

Is the only solution to escape spaces and convert backslashes?

I've searched the web but couldn't find any existing Powershell function, and the solutions I found didn't mention escaping spaces, so I don't hold much hope that they're complete.

Why do you need to convert them? Do you access the same system? The same NAS? Do you have a software where you have projects and need to combine multiple files and you need to have a way to store the paths so the same project can be opened on different machines? ....
