Subject: Two questions
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 1998 16:06:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <34CDF7DF.EBE69AEE@rrz.uni-hamburg.de> (raw)
1. The manual says that array elements are numbered beginning with 1
unless the KSH_ARRAYS option is set. But actually array[0] works fine
and seems to be a synonym for array[1]. Bug or feature? This has the
great disadvantage that you cannot rely on "$array[i,j]" always being
empty if j < i.
2. There is an inconsistency in the behavior of the expression
${a:h}
which is said to give the "head" of $a. If a=x/y/z, the result is x/y;
but if a=x, the result is x. My understanding of "head" is that the
result in the latter case should be empty. Again: Bug or feature?
Regards,
Bernd
