Hello
I've tried to insert a single quote into a variable content.
With something like this :
bash-3.2$ foo=bar
bash-3.2$ echo "${foo/%/'}"
>
If you look at that, you understand that > is the $PS2, so it means that
bash is interpreting the single quote a special char.
So, naturally, I've told myself : "just escape it". And I've tried
that :
bash-3.2$ foo=bar
bash-3.2$ echo "${foo/%/\'}"
bar\'
But... what the hell ? The backslash belongs to the variable now ?
So, I cant use it "as is", and if I escape it, the command doesnt do
what I want anymore..
Is that some kind of bug in the parser ?
I've tested that on my fedora 9, with a brand new :
GNU bash, version 3.2.33(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
But the same behaviour happens on an old old debian sarge with
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
