This is driving me nuts. Everything in single quotes is supposed to be assigned as is, yet if I do the following:
TEST=’ .* ‘
echo $TEST
I get a bunch of garbage on the screen listing all ‘dot’ files in the current directory…
Any help would be appreciated.
If you don’t quote the variable, it is expanded on the second command line.
