Subject: $'...' and double-quotes
Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2000 05:13:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1000306051313.ZM25821@candle.brasslantern.com> (raw)

zsh% x="$'\012'"
zsh% echo $x
$'\012'

Hrm.

I would have thought $'...' acted like any other string-substitution when
inside double-quotes, i.e. like $(...) $[...] and $((...)) all do.  I
suppose the reason it doesn't work is because "'" is a quoted single
quote, not an ordinary single quote ...?

I'm not certain this needs to be changed, but I wanted to be sure it's
intentional.
