Tht is if your are using a pipe like this echo xxx | read line echo $line then the result is empty due to the fact that the `read line' is within a real subshell and you never get back a result from a forked subshell. Using a named fifo in bash but not sh scripts will work read line < <(echo xxx) echo $line If you think this is a bug you may use the command bashbug but IMHO you will be informed with the same statement and a n'hint of the bash FAQ like http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/024 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
