Hi, just a quick question about shell parameter expansion: "$@" is obvious from, e.g., bash manual page but I'm puzzled when I've seen few time this sort of construct used: ${1+"$@"} What's the difference of "$@" and ${1+"$@"} (in theory and in practice)? Any examples? Thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends. Drama queens. Your life? Nope! - their life, your story.
