Bash Version: 4.4 Patch Level: 18 Release Status: release Description: Character \001 disappears from here document if 'word' is unquoted. Repeat-By: Running a script such as: #!/bin/bash cat << EOF ^A^B^C EOF Where: ^A = decimal value 1 ^B = decimal value 2 ^C = decimal value 3 The output of the script will be "\002\003\n". Decimal value 1 disappears. Function 'expand_word_internal()' expands the word from "\001\002\003\n" to its internal string representation "\001\002\001\003\n", instead of "\001\001\001\002\001\003\n" which I believe should be the correct expansion. Also, if I include decimal value 1 twice in a row, such as "\001\001", then, only one of them is actually printed on the script's output.
