Re^3: XML input through STDIN

Yes it's the shell that strips the quote but it's probably not bash (entering pedantic mode now).

I don't really know about other systems, but on unixy-systems the shell used is /bin/sh which on my Debian is a link to dash.

Our `[man://]` doesn't contaion `dash`, but its documentation on my box mentions "Quote Removal" as well. See also dash(1). ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-\|\|-\|5+lengthSq)`"S\|oS2"`map{chr \|+ord }map{substrSq`S_+\|`\|}3E\|-\|`7**2-3:)=~y+S\|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a, [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Dash is AFAIK just a lighter and faster version of bash, but less interactive and lacking features extending the POSIX standard. So interactive terminals run bash, while startup scripts will use dash (via sh) Hence basics like "quote removal" must be the same. It's like nitpicking the IE can't do JavaScript because it does JScript ... Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]
