Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: bash-3.1-9

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 setti

RE: shopt igncr not working

Hi Kazuyuki, thanks for pointing this oiut, but 1) bash version is correct, i.e. GNU bash, version 3.1.17(9)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) as recommended 2) I indeed applied the comment character "#" at the end when using as the first line of the shell script 3) When trying the optio

shopt igncr not working

Re: Problems with archiver "ar"
