[GRASS-dev] parsing file paths in GRASS Scripts- Windows OS

Hello Glynn
First, Thanks for your attention and reply

imports landsat images and do some basic processing. In this case, Landsat
file path must be with '/' instead of '\'. I know that it«s a simple thing
but my bunch of colleagues (old people and used to "easy" tools) are
complaining about this because we have built a script and we need to run it
a couple of times. I know that the same thing happens with GRASS Bash
Scripts.


Yes, I have understand about the '\'.

I believe that this is a problem before Python Scripts starts running. I
think that this would improve winGRASS usability

Thanks
Kat
