Re: [SLL] Bash script wanted

Strings are just (magically) concatenated so the $2 ... line just concatenates each substring together with the underscore strings. The \ is just line continuation. As the line was broken up into fields as the commas, they need to be re-inserted on output as you see in the printf statement. Probably not how I would actually do it but it is about as close to C as you can get. -- Phil Hughes nica...@gmail.com
