Or even experiment with the SHELLOPTS environment variable. If you set it
in windows, even the first run of bash will obey igncr; or, from within
bash, if you do 'export SHELLOPTS' to convert it from a shell variable to
an environment variable, then further bash invocations will inherit the
setting of this option, without having to edit every script.
This would be a good place for the "igncr" if it worked!
If i set this variable in windows to the value of just "igncr" I get the
following error upon starting the bash:
bash: igncr: invalid option name
So I looked in the man pages for bash:
SHELLOPTS
A colon-separated list of enabled shell options. Each word
in
the list is a valid argument for the -o option to the
set
builtin command (see SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below). The
options
appearing in SHELLOPTS are those reported as on by set -o.
If
this variable is in the environment when bash starts up,
each
shell option in the list will be enabled before reading
any
startup files. This variable is read-only.
If I type "set -o" then "igncr" is *NOT* listed. Thus I assume this is the
reason why the SHELLOPTS results in an error.
