in thread How to include a doublequoted string into a backticked expression?

Thanks, Anonymous Monk, for pointing this out. Essentially, if I understand your reply correctly, each shell will handle certain variables in its own, idiosyncratic way. I guess, this comes as no surprise as such.

Any idea then as to why a string consisting of \w+ characters only would not interpolate properly into my backticked expression then?

Cheers - Pat

    You're making the assumption that it does not interpolate properly. Prove each part. As you do, you'll find your error.
