Hi, The documentation for importas says:
"When *envvar* is undefined, and the -D option is not given, any variable substitution <http://skarnet.org/software/execline/el_substitute.html> with *variable* as the key will return no word; that is true even when the ${ *variable*} form to be substituted happens in the middle of a word (with a prefix and/or a postfix), which means the whole world will be deleted. If this is not the behaviour you want, use the -D option." I'm trying to figure out what that means. When I ensure that FOO is not set and run: importas FOO FOO echo prefix${FOO}postfix I get the output "prefixpostfix", which is identical to what I get if I add a -D option with an empty word. If the whole word were deleted, I'd expect to get empty output. (If the whole *world* were deleted, I'd expect to be floating in space...) -- Brett Neumeier ([email protected])
