2007 i686 GNU/Linux
Machine Type: i486-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Description:
Hi,
The expansion of echo <(cat /etc/{passwd,motd}) is rather surprising:
$ echo <(cat p.main.{optional,extra})
++ cat p.main.optional
cat: p.main.optional: No such file or directory
++ cat p.main.extra
cat: p.main.extra: No such file or directory
+ echo /dev/fd/63 /dev/fd/62
/dev/fd/63 /dev/fd/62
I would have expected to be expanded to <(cat /etc/passwd /etc/motd) first.
Repeat-By:
echo <(cat /etc/passwd /etc/motd)
tested with bash 3.1 and 3.2. Someone else told me on IRC that 2.05 was also
affected.
Lucas.
