While $'\t' is easy to read and works in many current shells, it isn't in the standards yet and is not implemented by many shells in common use. Standard ways that should be supported by any shell based on Bourne shell syntax include:
and, of course, you can define a variable using any of those forms:

Hi all,
I have the following question. Apparently not very difficult, but I'm not any expert.
I have a program, let's say program.x, and a bash script that execute it, let's say program.sh. When the program executes it asks for a value to continue. What I want is just passing the value throw... (2 Replies)
I'm running Mac OS, using the latest version of zsh.
I've noticed that I have funny tab-completion behavior when inside a screen session.
Specifically, once I press tab, the first part of my command seems to be duplicated before the completion results are inserted.
For example, if I type... (14 Replies)
I've posted about this before, but only recently narrowed the problem down to a specific cause.
Ok, first of all, the behavior:
It occurs when autocompletion brings up its list (not when there is only a single option). Basically, if I were to type, say,
cd ~/<TAB>
I would get something... (2 Replies)

YYFIX(1) BSD General Commands Manual YYFIX(1)NAME
yyfix -- extract tables from y.tab.c
SYNOPSIS
yyfix file [tables]
DESCRIPTION
Programs have historically used a script (often named ``:yyfix'') to extract tables from the yacc(1) generated file y.tab.c. As the names of
the tables generated by the current version of yacc(1) are different from those of historical versions of yacc(1), the shell script yyfix is
provided to simplify the transition.
The first (and required) argument to yyfix is the name of the file where the extracted tables should be stored.
If further command line arguments are specified, they are taken as the list of tables to be extracted. Otherwise, yyfix attempts to deter-
mine if the y.tab.c file is from an old or new yacc(1), and extracts the appropriate tables.
The tables ``yyexca'', ``yyact'', ``yypact'', ``yypgo'', ``yyr1'', ``yyr2'', ``yychk'', and ``yydef'' are extracted from historical versions
of yacc(1).
The tables ``yylhs'', ``yylen'', ``yydefred'', ``yydgoto'', ``yysindex'', ``yyrindex'', ``yygindex'', ``yytable'', ``yyname'', ``yyrule'',
and ``yycheck'', are extracted from the current version of yacc(1).
FILES
y.tab.c File from which tables are extracted.

The yyfix command first appeared in 4.4BSD.
