The GNU Autoconf manual, and its code, recommends something like this (note the "x" prefix): optarg=`expr "x$opt" : 'x[^=]*=\(.*\)'` Your echo version suffers from non-portable results when opt matches "-n*", "-e*", "-E*", or something with a backslash in. -- Jamie _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
