In the combination Windows+Cygwin there exists a little issue with slashes and backslashes. You have programmed a search/replace from backslash to slash. That is ok but the replacement will be overwritten again by:
let startdir = input("Start searching from directory: ", cwd, "dir")I set shellslash for Cygwin. Now it works as expected.
Another issue exists if you have spaces in your directory name. If you press TAB while vim shows the directory, it replaces
" "by"\ ". To solve this, I have put in another search/replace to remove the backslashes again.
