Nestling `
Anybody have any ideas?

I'm trying to do the following

The problem I'm having is nestling the ` ` to evaluate something. How can you use an evaluate within an evaluate?

echo "../mhisto `f=xa.txt;s=` some commands in here ` ` "

With bash and ksh the evaluations can be nested :
Code:
echo "../mhisto $(f=xa.txt;s=$( some commands in here ) ) "

in short, backticks (ie, ` ) have been deprecated in favor of the more visible $( ) usage...

You can use the escape character '\' (backward slash) before the grave-accent character in order to have nesting (i.e) "\`"
