Re: [Fish-users] math in fish
Torsten and Jon, thank you both. If you type help, all you get is the example math 1+1 (without quotes). Hum... so the example is misleading and the syntax is inconsistent. I hope these can be fixed in the next version. --Pong On Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 7:33 AM, Jon Clayden jon.clay...@gmail.com wrote: It will work if you quote it: $ math '2*2' 4 All the best, Jon On 6 September 2012 15:27, Wai Yan Pong wypon...@gmail.com wrote: What is the syntax for multiplying two numbers using the math function in fish?

Re: [Fish-users] math in fish
The syntax is consistent if you see that *math *expects one parameter. But I agree the example could be clearer.
