Question

Thank you very much in advance for helping!

I’d like to transform this variable:

win_path=/cygdrive/g/virtual_tours/.archives/vt_template_8_0_15/test_directory_2/panos

into:

win_path_dir=G:/virtual_tours/.archives/vt_template_8_0_15/test_directory_2/panos

This in what I have so far, but it doesn’t work.
When I echo $win_path it returns nothing (black, empty space)

$win_path=$(echo $i | sed -e 's/\/cygdrive\/g/G\:/g')

Cheers!

Your approach is good, there is only a little typo:

win_path=$(echo $i | sed -e 's/\/cygdrive\/g/G\:/g')

Do not write $win_path (no $) when defining the value of variable win_path.
When you write $win_path the shell expands the value of the variable.
