Bash Version: 3.1 Patch Level: 5 Release Status: release Description: If I use a long backtick expansion, it is not all evaluated in some circumstances (but it apparently is if only using builtins). Repeat-By: for f in `seq 20000`; do ls /dev/null; done|wc -l yields 4097, not 20000 that it should. However, for f in `seq 20000`; do echo /dev/null; done|wc -l yields 20000 (presumably because of using the bash builtin echo) _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
