Beginning with bash-3.2, quoting the rhs of the =~ operator causes the
quoted portions to be matched as strings, as the == operator works.
This is in the latest version of the Bash FAQ, which, for some reason,
I have been blocked from posting to bug-bash. I will try again.

read 1 var in when executing command
I saw something similar to this in the archives already, but didn't see a real answer. I am modifying my 'whois' command to just grep for the expiration date of my domains: ie jwhois whois $DOM | grep -i expi | grep -i -e jan -e feb -e mar -e apr -e may -e jun -e jul -e aug -e sep -e oct -e nov -e dec | grep -i -v date What I would like is to pass in the parameter in the commandline: jwhois Currently I have: echo -n "Enter the domain name: " read DOM I would prefer, again, just to execute the command with the domain name following Not sure how to do it. I have been looking around and saw things like getopts, but I am only passing in one variable and thought it should be fairly simple Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/read-1-var-in-when-executing-command-tf3732385.html#a10447367 Sent from the Gnu - Bash mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash

You can define the command as a shell function (see "Shell Function Definitions" in the man page under "SHELL GRAMMAR"). You can refer to the first argument as $1 (see "Positional Parameters", under "PARAMETERS"). paul ___ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
