This is what you can do with @K. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2021-08/msg00119.html Word splitting doesn't happen on the rhs of an assignment statement, so you use eval. The @K quoting is eval-safe. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRU c...@case.edu http://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/
