Hi list,
I've got a question about commandline args, imagine:
personal_function ab{c,d}
personal_function will receive abc and abd.
Is there a way to make it receive ab{c,d}
instead (without chaning the arguement itself)?
Quote it: personal_function "ab{c,d}"
Hmm.. right. But is there a way to achieve that without quoting?
If it is not quoted, the shell will expand it before your script
even sees it.
Maybe some trap (just like for "do X before bash exists")?
If you are calling a function, bash already exists.
