Package: dash Version: 0.5.2-5 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line ***
Dash's builtin read combines '\\' to '\', so there is some quoting going on despite the -r option. $ echo '\\' >dashtest; read -r lin <dashtest; echo $lin; rm dashtest \ Bash doesn't do that: $ echo '\\' >dashtest; read -r lin <dashtest; echo $lin; rm dashtest \\ I assume Bash's behaviour is correct. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.32 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages dash depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- debconf information: dash/sh: false -- Torsten Scheck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG 1024D/728E 6696 F43D D622 78F1 F481 45C0 2147 69AB DD54 software engineer:open standards/access/knowledge:enthgnusiast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
