Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 5
Release Status: release

Description:
This --> a-{b{d,e}}-c <-- gets wrongly expanded.  There is one
brace expansion expression there, surrounded by braces not
formating a brace expansion expression.

Repeat-By:
echo a-{b{d,e}}-c

Should get: a-{bd}-c a-{be}-c
but actually get: a-bd-c a-be-c

Output redirection?

2006-01-28 Thread Yuri Karlsbrun 
Hello,

I, probably, need bash-help mailing list, but I could not find it.

Here is the bash script fragment:
LOG_FILE="./logfile"
...
>$LOG_FILE

I supposed that the statement above redirects stdout to the logfile.
But the following 'echo' statement prints on the screen. The logfile is
opened. What is the real purpose of the statement above?

Thanks,
Yuri

I believe I can fix this with some code rearrangement, at the cost of
slightly altering the requirements imposed on
rl_directory_completion_hook.
