---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0003970) joerg (reporter) - 2018-04-17 13:46 http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=985#c3970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Bourne Shell and in ksh88, the case statement first tries to match the case argument against the pattern using gmatch() and in case this does not result in a match, the quoting on the pattern is removed and a plain string compare is done. In case if the example from the "Description", the case argument is the C string "foo bar" and the pattern is the C string "\\f\\o\\o\\ \\ \\b\\a\\r" that yields in the string: \f\o\o\ \ \b\a\r gmatch("foo bar", "\\f\\o\\o\\ \\ \\b\\a\\r") gives a match. If this did not result in a match, quotes in the pattern would be removed and strcmp() called with the "case" argument and the pattern with it's quoting removed. This results in a call to: strcmp("foo bar", "foo bar") that also gives a match.
