Hi Steven,
There are similar tests in
busybox-1.23.0/shell/ash_test/ash-vars/var_bash3.tests
which leads me to think it should work, but they don't cover quoted
replacements.
The inconsistent behaviour (below) leads me to think there some sort of
backslash addition bug rather than a lack of function?
~ # i="a#b#c"
~ # echo ${i//#/':'}
a\:b\:c
~ # echo ${i//#/';'}
a;b;c
~ # echo ${i//#/'*'}
a\*b\*c
~ # echo ${i//#/'^'}
a^b^c
Thank you for your time,
Regards
Rich

Hi,
I think this is a pattern substitution bug with bb's bourne shell?
(afraid I cant find anything with a real shell (non-dash) to double check
on, so apologies if it is me.)
busybox 1.23.0 (sh shell)
-------------------------------------
~ # i=stuff%%this%%that
~ # j=${i//%%/$'\x0A'}
Pattern substitution is just a bashism as far as I know, so no reason
to expect this to work in any other shell.
