Hi,
While programming a script I found it useful to have parameter expansion
replace the last occurrence of a given substring instead of the first
but fund no way to do it. I hope this is the correct place for feature
requests since I found no searchable location for them to check if it
was already there.
The idea would be to have a third option to the already existing two:
|${PARAMETER/PATTERN} # replaces first occurrence|
|${PARAMETER//PATTERN} # replaces all occurrences|
I was thinking about |${PARAMETER/%PATTERN} but that is already taken by
anchored replacement.
With best regards,
Alan
