Subject: varaiable expansion and here documents
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1993 01:47:39 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199301180647.AA26417@cerberus.bhpese.oz.au> (raw)
I ran into an inconsistancy recently that may be of interest:
; a=(aa bb cc)
; b=2
; echo $a($b)
bb
; cat << EOF
$a($b)
EOF
aa bb cc(2)
;
I expected the output from echo & cat to be identical.
Comments ? Byron ?
