All,

I am trying to do the below step

_pool="/pf/data[0-9][0-9]/"
(19Smilient:/pf/temp>) echo $_ppool
/pf/data01 /pf/data02/ /pft/data03/ /pft/data04/ /pf/data05/ /pf/data06/

when i echo my assignment it is not showing the string that i assigned , instead it is showing the whole split. What will be the cause . I want it to showed like "/pf/data[0-9][0-9]/"
Note for my login it is not showing if i logged with other user id it showing as expected .

If this is a profile setting ?????????

you just need to surround the echo in double quotes:

Code:
echo "$_ppool"
