- Subject: bash: simple command problem
Hi Folks
I hove the problem to set variable in front of executing a command. The
bash manpage says that a simple command is a set of variable assignment
followed by the command
So I think that
variableA=valA nextVariable=next echo $variableA $nextVariable
should echo valA next but when I try this in the bash the echo is empty
Did I understand something wrong or is it a bug?
Regards
Franz
