Hi all, I ran into a strange "thing" with ~ expansion in bash. I do not know if I found a bug or a feature. $ bash --version GNU bash, version 3.1.14(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. $ touch "~/something strange"; echo $? touch: ~/something strange cannot create 1 $ touch ~/something\ strange; echo $? 0 $ cd ~ $ touch "something strange"; echo $? 0 Is this a known thing? Thanx, SK. Note: Followup-To set to c.u.s. -- mean people suck, naughty people swallow :o ----- Candy for spammers: http://members.shaw.ca/grubb/spamthis.html
