not a regression as bash-2.05 / bash-3.0 also barf on this ... i imagine someone has already filed this, but i couldnt seem to find it in the mailing lists ...
foo=$( #' echo hi) now the neat thing is that with bash-3.1 (unlike older versions), the open/close parens are detected properly when typing the example code into a terminal: bash-3.1 $ foo=$(#" > ) bash: bad substitution: no closing `)' in $(#" ) bash-3.0 $ foo=$(#" > ) > > bash-3.0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' bash-3.0: syntax error: unexpected end of file notice how bash-3.0 keeps wanting more input until i hit ctrl+d ... almost there ! :) -mike _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
