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.
