I agree, and I have already started my own collection of useful-to-me fish scripts which I sync across machines. I am not dismissing fish's abbreviations, functions, or custom scripts at all. This particular example is just a case where Bash has the advantage. Fish does many things as well as, or better than, other shells, which is why I have moved from Bash and Zsh to fish on every machine where circumstances allow it. I am also not complaining about fish at all. In this case, I'll just stick to what I have known for decades (like "awk" or "find"), because fish lacks a simpler, built-in approach. No harm, no foul. -Ralph _______________________________________________ Fish-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users
