sorry for my simple problem. i want to store the current working dir to a variable, i write ------------------- pwd | read test ------------------- and i test the variable: ------------------- echo $test -------------------
but the $test is empty. did i make any stupid mistake? 3x for your attention and comment. bash version: GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
