Bash Version: 3.1 Patch Level: 16 Release Status: release Description: Inline comments worked in earlier versions of bash (e.g. 3.0). They seem to cause errors, now. I could not find any comment on this in the changelog. Repeat-By: use "$( #comment )" in a bash script to generate an inline comment. this will cause the "unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)'" error. _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
