It's not clear from the manual what read even does if you don't give it any variable names. Does it discard the input line? Is that the purpose? If so, then while that might be useful occasionally, it's clearly not needed since one can just give a dummy variable name. So no, obviously I've never used that since I'm having trouble figuring out what it does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Fish-users mailing list Fish-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users
