Hi,
I am puzzled and don't know why this command does not work with dash (I
am currently using the debian stable (v7.2) version of dash (v0.5.7-3)):
echo 1>/tmp/x; reponse=$( sed -e $(wc -l </tmp/x)$'{w/dev/stdout\n;d}'
-i /tmp/x ); echo "reponse='$reponse'"
but also just this line:
sed -e 1$'{w/dev/stdout\n;d}' -i /tmp/x
in a dash script will yield the error message:
sed: -e expression #1, char 2: unknown command: `$'
But why ? :(
I would be really grateful for any explanation.
Thanks a lot in advance for any hint!
