Re: {# - strange behavior

[Antonio Macchi]

thanks... but parameters expansions and printf builtin works differently 
about it...




$ locale | grep LC_CTYPE
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

$ a=eèèèe

$ b=eeeee

$ echo ${#a}
5

$ echo ${#b}
5

$ printf "*%-10s*" $a
*eèèèe  *

$ printf "*%-10s*" $b
*eeeee     *




is it ok?
