Hi,
I have a directory named '\E' (two letters, rather than a single
special character). I have the following $PS1 variable.
$ echo $PS1
${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}...@\h:\w\$
When my current directory is '\E', the prompt shows a special
character (I think that it should be the special character '\E'). I'm
wondering if there is a way to change $PS1 to show two characters '\'
and 'E'.
I don't get this behavior with bash-4.1. It may be PROMPT_COMMAND
that is messing up your display.
No. I don't think that it is because of PROMPT_COMMAND. I set
PROMPT_COMMAND to the following command. But the prompt doens't
change. It only print an additional line whenever I run a command.
export PROMPT_COMMAND=echo
OK. I still can't reproduce it with bash-4.1.
I can reproduce it.
