Machine Type: i486-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Description:
When IFS does not contain the blank character, var="([EMAIL PROTECTED])"
works fine, but var="([EMAIL PROTECTED]:offset:length})" does not (it creates
a single-element array).
Repeat-By:
IFS=$'\n'
a=(A B C D)
b=("[EMAIL PROTECTED]")
echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" # 4, A B C D -- OK
b=("[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2}")
echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" # 1, C D -- bug, should be 2, C D
