using the sh command in cygwin activates posix-compliance mode, which doesn't have that particular syntax for process substitution.

try

bash expose.sh

instead or just invoking it by filename.

Output looking much better now:

$ bash expose.sh

However, the page I get when I open the index.html has none of my pictures.
The top sidebar says

Am I doing something wrong?

[Jack000]

the script operates on your current working directory. You seem to be in the expose.sh directory? Looks like it just built a gallery from the template files.

try aliasing the script to a command like so:

alias expose=/your/script/dir/expose.sh
cd /your/images/directory
expose

That works perfectly. Thank you for both the script and your help.

no problem : ]

let me know if you have any other issues
