I am unable to make sense of the bash man-page description of the extquote shopt option.
It says: extquote If set, $’string’ and $"string" quoting is performed within ${parameter} expansions enclosed in double quotes. This option is enabled by default. Can anybody come up with an example where the setting of extquote makes a difference? I would actually like to have two examples, one with $'string' and one with $"string". -Enrique _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
