Hi Chet, hi bug-bash readers, I'm not quite getting the changes in bash's handling of escape sequences.
[EMAIL PROTECTED](~)> echo '\a' '\a Ouch? This is not related to escape sequence handling: [EMAIL PROTECTED](~)> echo -E '\a' '\a [EMAIL PROTECTED](~)> echo -e '\a' ' And yet, it is: [EMAIL PROTECTED](~)> echo '\\ \ \ \ ' \\ \ \ \ [EMAIL PROTECTED](~)> echo '\\ \a \ \ ' \ \ '\\ \a \ \ [EMAIL PROTECTED](~)> echo 'wow\awow' wow'wow\awow [EMAIL PROTECTED](~)> echo $'\a' ' [EMAIL PROTECTED](~)> echo \\a \a Finally! [EMAIL PROTECTED](~)> echo $BASH_VERSION 3.2.5(1)-release [EMAIL PROTECTED](~)> gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5) Sorry if I'm being terribly ignorant here, but I don't get it. On a related note, the documented escape sequences handled by "echo" differ between help echo and man echo (-e vs. -E). -- Best Regards, | Hi! I'm a .signature virus.
