Re: Newbie question: How to use ftpd and telnetd?
Hi,
This is one of the many reasons I like BASH so much. In this case I
prefer the $( ... ) syntax in place of the back-quote
semi-equivalent. I say "semi-equivalent" because unlike back-quote,
the $( ) construct nests.
Another BASH favorite of mine is $' ... ', a quoted string in which
backslash escapes are substituted.
