It was my understanding that using 'single quotes' meant that I didn't have to worry about it being escaped by the shell? The above is shown literally on Debian/etch. I think that is a Dash nasty? Surely this is messing up someone's regex scripts somewhere, and it doesn't smell much like a Bashism. $ bash $ echo '\\' \\ $ dash $ echo '\\' \ Is the practical solution to bypass the issue by using "double quotes" and explicitly double-\\ any intended \\s? artistic credit goes to the figlet package - Frank, Ian & Glenn's Letters http://www.figlet.org handy online frontend http://www.network-science.de/ascii/ Hamish __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
