Hello all, I'm at my wit's end. This script is not working: ========================================= #!/bin/bash B=none echo "2" | while read -r A; do B="$A" echo 1.B=$B done echo 2.B=$B ========================================== The output, from GNU bash, version 4.2.25(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu), bash-4.2-2ubuntu2.1.deb, is this:
1.B=2 2.B=none I'm baffled; it's like the while loop is in a parallel universe. I tried 'export B=none' in line 2, with no effect. Help? -- f...@ch.pkts.ca
