Hi all, I'm stuck trying to pass $'\t' to bash via Nix multi-line strings:
nix-repl> ''cut -d $'\t' -f 1'' error: syntax error, unexpected $undefined, expecting IND_STR or DOLLAR_CURLY or IND_STRING_CLOSE, at (string):1:10 I've looked at https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#ssec-values but I don't see how to fix this case. If I add a space between $ and ' the error goes away, that's as close to a "solution" as I've got. (Why does Nix care about the two-character sequence $'?) Another "solution" is to change the outer "double single quotes" into "single quotes". But that's not what I want, because it causes issues with the rest of the script (not shown here).
