It's also preferred over backticks since you can't nest backticks AND some older shells have "convenient" behavior on input like "Is it now `date" that really messes with you if you try and use quotes inside backticks. Like making the following ambiguous: "Is it now`date +" %F "`, but I wish it was 100 years in the future." -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
