This is normal. It's explained in entry E4 in the bash FAQ.
Oh, sorry, I made a mistake in the subject, it should ha
Hi, bash developers!
I've noticed strange bash behaviour. If I assign variable value in
right behalf of pipeline it has no effect. Just try to execute:
XXX=10; { XXX=20; } | read; echo $XXX
XXX=10; { XXX=20; }; echo $XXX
I suppose both of them should output '20' but the first one outputs
'10'
