for loops with /bin/sh on command line.
I'm sure I'm being dim, but why cant I do a for loop on the command line using /bin/sh ? am I suffering from too much use of bash and as such shouldnt expect it to work? banshee# for foo in 1 2 3 ; do echo $foo ; done for: Command not found. foo: Undefined variable. banshee# echo 'for foo in 1 2 3; do echo $foo ; done' bahh.sh banshee# sh bahh.sh 1 2 3 banshee# Vince ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
