Hi,
I was just trying to write a bash script in which I wanted to do a quick
substitution in a variable, and it seems that bash has trouble with this. I
typed in an example from a book which works on unix:
echo -e {PATH//:/'\n'}
And it complains of bad substitution. I'm using b18 on NT.. is this known
and fixed in b19? Thanks!
Jeff
