Message-ID: <4FF58B96DCA158C9D5C183CD611F73B4@smtp.pobox.com> (raw)
I use " and "" to review previous commands and execute them, and
I was puzzled when a previous 'cd' command didn't work. I
suspected it might be perhaps to 'cd' being a built-in, and
looking at the source code for "" my suspicion was confirmed. The
last line that executes the command is: rc -c $"_x
Any reason why this isn't using eval instead so that rc built-ins
work (eval $"_x)
P.S. There doesn't appear to be any man page for "" or ", and lookman
doesn't support "" either:
cpu% lookman ""
usage: lookman key ...
cpu% lookman '""'
usage: lookman key ...
cpu%
