Many thanks for your reply, Hraban.

I wish I could do that. I get the paths from a Windows .bat file.

I drop PDF docuemnts to the .bat file, this is the reason I get the
paths with backslashes.

I use something like that:

  for %%A in (%*) do (
   context --purgeall --arguments="PDFDoc={%%~A} b.tex
  )

But to replace backslashes with slashes, I would need something like this:

  for %%A in (%*) do (
   context --purgeall --arguments="PDFDoc={%%%~A:\=/%} b.tex
  )

But that prevents the batch file from working at all.

I don’t know whether there is a workaround for this.

Many thanks for you help,

Pablo
