How to modify a windows file

[linux1974]

Hi,

what the syntax to modify a file in a windows directory?
I want to run a cronjob that modify a file in a windows directory ( eg. c:\test )
I will use the sed command.How can I pass the windows file ( ascii ) to sed and rewrite the file in the windows directory?
tks

You seem to be asking where the cygwin documentation is located.

Go back to the cygwin web page and click on the Documentation link on
the left bar.
