Hi,
While writing a shell script I came acros something strange. I used an
alias for 'echo' and it looks like the alias is ignored in a case
statement. The code below produces the following on the screen:
----
H
e
l
l
o
Hello
----
----
#!/bin/sh
alias echo="/bin/echo -n"
hello() {
local foo
foo=1
case $foo in
1)
echo "H"
echo "e"
echo "l"
echo "l"
echo "o"
;;
esac
echo "H"
echo "e"
echo "l"
echo "l"
echo "o"
}
hello
----
Hope this report helps.
