The venerable Bourne-Again Shell.
A mistake most bash beginners make — It's the array variable expantion. here is an example: x=( a b "c d" ); echo ${x[@]} in this example a beginner would thinkg that ${x[@]} would be expanded to 3 fields but no. It would be expanded into 4 field a,b,c,d . It's very confusing. however to prevent it we just quote the parameter expansion like "${x[@]}" and now it would only expand to 3 fields :) hope you learned something new.

Also, there are times when I wish to compare two files or strings. Sometimes I just make some dummy git activity to...

About grep --exclude — Colud this grep option be problematic? [preformatted] I'd seen more expressions like: [preformatted] But they doesn't cover the "file.txt_bkp" posibility.

[SOLVED] Was: Can I get an extra pair of eyes on some code I wrote? — Edited: ~ew pointed out that there was a naming conflict in the temporary files generated by the geminispace script and the webspace script; they both outputted to a file called 'shuffle', and the webspace script ran before the geminispace script so on occasion there would be some mangling of the latter. This also explains why both...
