Hi,
... I found this email address in the bash man-page, so I hope this is
the right address. I have a small feature request:
Can you make it possible that the EOF marker for here-documents be
nested too, i.e. preceeded with an arbitrary number of white spaces?
I often have this situation:
if [ condition ]; then
do something
if [ another condition ]; then
do something else
if [ -x "${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus" ]; then
sqlplus -s .... <<-EOF
do some SQL here
EOF
fi
fi
fi
This looks nasty, especially if it occurs several times inside a
script. I would love to be able to align the "EOF" with the sqlplus
command to visually underline the block structure. Would that be
possible to do in future bash versions? I know I can use tabs under
certain conditions already but that doesn't suffice as I don't use a
tab width of 8 spaces.
Thanks very much and sorry if this was the wrong place to put the request.
