| ever written a shell parser? From scratch, no, but I maintain one. With all the details.... It isn't all that hard, but isn't trivial either, and amounts to quite a bit of code (and parsing all the bash extensions the way it does would make it harder and bigger) Like everything, it becomes a cost/benefit tradeoff, are the costs worth the benefits? That one is not for me (or you) to answer. kre ps: I am sure Chet will confirm that I am not shy about pointing out bash bugs/defects that shoukd be fixed when I come accross one.
