Hi...
I was trying to do some sequences, and it looks like they don't like variables.
See the following:
[user@box3 ~]$ echo $BASH_VERSION
5.0.17(1)-release
[user@box3 ~]$ echo {1..10}
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
[user@box3 ~]$ echo $l
10
[user@box3 ~]$ echo {1..${l}}
{1..10}
[user@box3 ~]$
Shouldn't the second sequence echo be the same as the first sequence echo? It
would be MUCH more useful if it were.
Of course, this could be just a feature, I don't really know. This is running
on a Fedora 31 release build if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
...Tom Watson
