See "Brace Expansion" in bash(1) for all the fun things you can do inside curly braces. In this case it wasn't necessary, but I do it for consistency. It's useful when you need to embed a variable in a string, such as: for x in 1 2 3 ; do echo "${x}blah" ; done Without the braces you get three blank lines. With the braces you get the expected output. -- Matt Brodeur RHCA [hidden email] http://www.nexttime.com PGP ID: 2CFE18A3 / 9EBA 7F1E 42D1 7A43 5884 560C 73CF D615 2CFE 18A3 All generalizations are false, including this one. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
