-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Jason Roscoe on 4/14/2008 1:00 PM: | This, of course, is not what I want. Instead of major="", I would like | the ending result to say major=$3 so. Can someone provide a hint as to | how I can achieve this? The two byte sequence '$3' is being consumed by m4. You need to quote it so that it makes it through m4 unscathed; try the four bytes '[$]3'. Or resort to a quadrigraph, with the five bytes '%S|%3'. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
