Hi. The following DASH behaviour seems buggy to me ----------------- $ export A='\n' $ echo $A $ ----------------- whereas using BASH would result in printing literally \n . I.e. presumingly DASH does secondary interpolation of escaped symols in values of environment variables. Please CC me with replies, I am not in the list. Thanks, regards, Dima. P.S. Wrom the other hand $ export B=1 $ export A='$B' $ echo $A PRINTS $B $ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dash" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
