Try the same with "cat" -- for example, type "a^D" (with no CR) |into "cat". You see "aaD". This is just because the ^D is printed as |"^" "D" "^H" "^H". | |Use "echo" or some other way of taking input from somewhere other than |the terminal if you don't want to get confused by this. Thanks. Yes, a "^D" string being printed didn't occur to me. I tried to this on other UNIXes and didn't see this, so I presumed to quickly that this might be a bug. Besides not taking input from the terminal, is there any way that you know of to disable printing of the "^D" when input is from the terminal? I checked stty(1) with no success.
