No, 2 byte change will make echo builtin in shell to conform to bash, but it will also break compatibility for echo _applet_, because that one is not expected to understand \e. And many more places which use bb_process_escape_sequence(). Amking them all fully compatible would take more than 2 bytes. Can you push bash and coreutils (echo and prints utilities in particular) to decide what is the right thing to do? busybox will then just adopt their behavior. -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
