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. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
