The /bin/sh in both 3.2-STABLE and 4.0-CURRENT produce the expected
results:
$f=/tmp/user/wpage.html
${f%.*}=/tmp/user/wpage
${f%/*}=/tmp/user
${f%"/wpage.html"}=/tmp/user
"$f"=/tmp/user/wpage.html
"${f%.*}"=/tmp/user/wpage
"${f%/*}"=/tmp/user
"${f%"/wpage.html"}"=/tmp/user
Time to upgrade? :-)
Ciao,
Sheldon.
