It is: ---------------------------------------------------------- var1=somename var2=num echo "myvar1=${var1} myvar2=${var2} " var3=`echo blobname | perl -pe 's/ /,/g'` echo echo "var1 is ${var1}" echo "var2 is ${var2}" echo "myvar1=${var3}" " myvar2=${var2} " exit And its output is: myvar1=somename myvar2=num var1 is somename var2 is num myvar2=num me ---------------------------------------------------------- Anybody know why it does this? Is this another thing that might be fixed in b18? I'm running out of ideas to get around it... Any hints? Thanks!
