BASH quoting behavior
The block below isn't a surprise: Code:
$ ls file1 file2 file3 $ x=* $ echo $x file1 file2 file3 $ echo '$x' $x $ echo "$x" * $ But I found this block a bit bewildering: Code:
$ echo $x' >' * $ I'm wondering why substitution wasn't performed on the $x, since it was unquoted (as far as I can tell). Thanks to the guru who can shed light on this one
