Doesn't make sense to me but I'm reaching for understanding. I'm trying
to understand why a particular line has an error and not similar lines
before it.

so this simple find
won't work unless I run it as many times as there is depth to the hierarchy.
BTW - Is there a better place to ask these questions about bash? I doubt
this is a bug so asking here is probably inappropriate, but I don't know
where else to ask.

when I typo a command, bash comes back with a command not found but
hangs the terminal for way too long.
How do I get rid of the delay. I want it to release the terminal
immediately.

Better perhaps than what is available now, but still not what it could be.
The single largest failing in BASH, and in most of what's available open
source, is the documentation.

that, and was surprised that bash allows it.

I wish bash had lots of things it doesn't, and yet it does a fine job as a
command interpreter. I have to find alternatives for what I want or need,
but they are there.

least as capable as the current one and since the current one provides
access to a foreign array as I demonstrated, the next release should also.
Hopefully well documented.
Using the tool you have now and doing something is better than waiting and
doing nothing in the interim.

My point was to DESIGN for html and the rich environment it offers, not to
try to convert a Model T into a Mercedes.
I'm not wild about a wiki either, if its a free for all. If on the other
hand, it is a submission platform that gets reviewed and edited by the
developers then it's possibly of bene
e visible
'\t' in it.
Is there a way to say it that is syntactically correct?
[ \t] # doesn't work
[ '\t']# doesn't work
I've even tried assigning as follows:
spaceTab=' \t'
[${spaceTab}] # doesn't work

I did a man bash looking for addr...@hidden thinking its some new
facility I was unaware of. Made me feel pretty silly afterwards 8-)
What is that supposed to be? The references presented by the search were
largely unusable because of it.

e [] is being used up but not in any way I expected.
Clearly, $'\t' is not representing a tab character, nor is it just using
the $ as a character in its own right. What is it doing?

And I also used printf as you suggested, and they both produce the same
output. What's the problem?

I now see what you are driving at. One error I made in specifying the
string was reinforced by another error I made in using echo -e. I would
never have figured that out without your help.
