Hi,

Mysql has now moved under c:/program files/

My backup bash script will run correctly if I use the follwing syntax 

/cygdrive/c/program\ files/mysql/MySQL\ Server\ 4.1/bin/mysqldump.exe $params

However it doesn't work if I try to load the above into a variable

eg
mysqldump='/cygdrive/c/program\ files/mysql/MySQL\ Server\ 4.1/bin/mysqldump.exe'

I get "/cygdrive/c/program\: No such file or directory..."

Is this just hard luck?
