Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to enter a return key in bash script? Post 302424911 by curleb on Wednesday 26th of May 2010 02:20:17 PM

IF you're only going to run install within the outer script (ie, . ./install)...and not retain any environment settings afterward AND install isn't launching it's own shell within...you might just alias more to be cat early on in your outer script, and then unalias it before you'd exit (ie, alias more='cat' ... unalias more; exit ).

This might force the inner script to follow the alias, and not require any manual edits to the vendor script...

Lemme know...I'm curious. Should equate to something like the following example:
Code:
$ print $(alias more='cat' ;more file.cpy |head ;unalias more ) |sed "s/ \//\n/g"
