- Subject: echo "$(echo '\r')" oddity
Hi,
I have just run into a Cygwin vs Linux oddity that I cannot explain. I've
managed to trace the problem back to a very simple statement:
echo "$(echo -e '\r')" | od -x
on my W2K Cygwin install (Cygwin1.dll 2005/04/01), this produces
0000000 000a
0000001
On Linux, this command produces:
# echo "$(echo -e '\r')" | od -x
0000000 0a0d
0000002
(which is what I'd expect).
Also, the Cygwin command
echo -e '\r' | od -x
also returns
0000000 0a0d
0000002
which is , again, what I would expect. I've tried setting CYGWIN to 'tty
binmode' but it did not make a difference.
What am I doing wrong here?
thanks in advance,
JJ Keijser
