Well, if someone's thinking $() is a variable, a lot of other bash string expansions are going to be confusing. To me, the killer feature is the difficulty in nesting backticks compared to the simplicity of nesting $()s. Then again, I usually write for the far simpler rc shell not bash, so what do I know? ;-) Regards, -- MJ Ray - see/vidu http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html Webmaster/web developer, statistician, sysadmin, online shop maker, developer of koha, debian, gobo, gnustep, various mail and web s/w.
