Bash Version: 4.0
Patch Level: 35
Release Status: release
Description:
I am used to setting variables in front of a command like in
> LANG=C man mplayer
However, I get a "bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'" error
when trying:
> FOO=BAR while read a b; do echo $a $b; done

The environment for any simple command or function may be augmented
temporarily by prefixing it with parameter assignments, as described
above in PARAMETERS. These assignment statement

the idiom:
shopt -s extglob
# for example, to check for numbers
case "-${somethin

echo one=$one
two=$(cat data)
echo two=$two

There appears to be some problem with wolfberry.srv.cs.cmu.edu
repeating emails. I have enabled emergency moderation on the mailing
list for a bit hoping to avoid further repeats while this problem gets
fixed. This will cause additional delay to all postings until the
problem is resolved.
