- How to convert Dos paths to Posix paths in Powershell
What is the best way to convert Dos paths to Unix 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.
