Comments on: “Here Document” in Bash-Script made stupid problems http://runtimeexception.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/here-document-in-bash-script-made-stupid-problems/ ... and the world as it definitely should not be Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:26:44 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: runtimeexception http://runtimeexception.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/here-document-in-bash-script-made-stupid-problems/#comment-12 runtimeexception Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:26:44 +0000 http://runtimeexception.wordpress.com/?p=14#comment-12 Thanks for your reply! Confusing, that your name is Oliver: I thought something like: did I write this myself? is there another perysonality of mine? but then ... I don't think so. And yes, you are soo right. In my earliest days of scripting I had exactly the problem with the "=". And yeah, seems like perl is no alternative here if I just want to get rid of indentation problems. Well, maybe I will have a new job in a month, then we'll see what it brings. Hopefully sunshine and evenings in outdoor areas of some bars with a nice beer and stuff. You never know ... perhaps some new languages. Thanks for your reply!

Supposedly it is just one of many things, which make bash scripting difficult; small details, which are of importance in archaic programming languages like Fortran also make a big difference in shell scripts. Yes, I guess line indentation is of importance also at other places in shell scripts. Or consider at least the space which must not be there in shell scripts after and before the "=" when setting a variable... Btw, in "Here documents" indentation is also of importance in Perl: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Quote-Like-Operators Haha, thats good to know!
