Hi,
I've just tested some script, because I've heard some complains that it takes
too much time with bash. I did a small benchmark and it was working great.
bash: 2:49
zsh: does not work
mksh: 1:35
ksh: 0:35
unfortunatelly ksh produced wrong output. The problem was with
echo -e "\x${VAL}"
seems ksh echo builtin does not support \xNN. In man page there is:
> When the first arg does not begin with a -, and none of the arguments
> contain a \, then echo prints each of its arguments separated by a space
> and terminated by a new-line. Otherwise, the behavior of echo is system
> dependent and print or printf described below should be used. See
> echo(1) for usage and description.
what does mean "system dependent"? ksh's echo does not behave always the same
way?
