[Bug 105634] Re: dash gives Syntax error: Bad substitution on valid syntax
I can confirm the same behavior on my Feisty box and also that there is no error with /bin/bash. I'll have to leave the POSIX question to someone else. ** Changed in: dash (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed -- dash gives Syntax error: Bad substitution on valid syntax https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105634 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 105634] Re: dash gives Syntax error: Bad substitution on valid syntax
FYI, some relevant details from POSIX:
Section 2.3, Token Recognition:
5. If the current character is an unquoted '$' or '`', the shell shall
identify the start of any candidates for parameter expansion ( Parameter
Expansion), command substitution ( Command Substitution), or arithmetic
expansion ( Arithmetic Expansion) from their introductory unquoted
character sequences: '$' or ${, $( or '`', and $((, respectively.
The shell shall read sufficient input to determine the end of the unit
to be expanded (as explained in the cited sections).
Section 2.6.2, Parameter Expansion:
The format for parameter expansion is as follows:
${expression}
where expression consists of all characters until the matching '}'. Any
'}' escaped by a backslash or within a quoted string, and characters in
embedded arithmetic expansions, command substitutions, and variable
expansions, shall not be examined in determining the matching '}'.
[...]
The parameter name or symbol can be enclosed in braces, which are
optional except for positional parameters with more than one digit or
when parameter is followed by a character that could be interpreted as
part of the name. The matching closing brace shall be determined by
counting brace levels, skipping over enclosed quoted strings, and
command substitutions.

In addition to bash I've checked Solaris /bin/sh and ksh and they don't
report an error.

[Bug 105634] Re: dash gives Syntax error: Bad substitution on valid syntax
The applicable portion of POSIX is in XCU 2.10.1: The WORD tokens shall have the word expansion rules applied to them immediately before the associated command is executed, not at the time the command is parsed.
