Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-4543: --------------------------------------------- Oh, interesting. Let me know if you get a chance to look at this. I'm very interested in making future improvements to the shell and related tooling. In particular, I think it's frustrating how we handle multi-byte characters. (What if I want to use 🎄 as a delimiter?) > backslashes in shell commands are consumed when using up key > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: ACCUMULO-4543 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4543 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Bug > Components: shell > Affects Versions: 1.7.1 > Reporter: Michael Berman > > If you pull a command out of your shell history with the up key, one slash > gets consumed from each sequence of slashes. As in: > {code} > $ grep \\x00something\\x00 > > results... > $ [up] > $ grep \x00something\x00 > > no results because now you're not escaped > $ [up] > $ grep x00somethingx00 > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
