Greetings, Cygwin users,
From a terminal:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ yorickp1 21:43:48
$bash -c "echo $1" yada
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ yorickp1 21:43:52
$bash -c "echo $*" bright sunshiny day
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ yorickp1 21:45:54
Shouldn't I have gotten some results on stdout?
Try
$ bash -c 'echo $1' bash yada
$ bash -c 'echo /$0/ $*' a bright sunshiny day
A perusal of the "quoting" section of the bash man page might be
particularly instructive.
HTH,
Igor
