Hello, I have been playing around with tilde expansion lately and I think i have discovered a case where the tilde is expanded where it, according to the documentation, should not.
When running: $ x=~ x is set to the current users home directory as expected. $ echo $x /home/christian But when executing $ echo x=~ x=/home/christian is returned. This case looks like a variable assignment where the expansion is expected but it is not, for that reason there should not be an expansion since the tilde is not at the beginning of the word nor a variable assignment is taking place. sh and zsh both return the expected x=~ sh -c "echo x=~" x=~ zsh -c "echo x=~" x=~ bash -c "echo x=~" x=/home/christian I my understanding of the manual incorrect or is there some hidden interaction with echo? Greetings, Christian Steinhaus
