Yes, I know how it works. I rather meant that you can't nest the backtick= s in a vanilla fashion, like with $(). Escaping the ticks you can do whatev= er you want, it's just a matter of making sure the right thing reaches the correct depth in a nested chain of shells, since each time that this kind of substitution it happens in a new subshell. $ pgrep bash | wc -l 6 $ echo $(pgrep bash | wc -l) 7 $ echo $(echo $(pgrep bash | wc -l)) 8 I'll admit I didn't express it in the clearest way. However, this doesn't solve the fact of the accents being dead keys in a lost (most?) languages with a Latin alphabet, but English, nor the problem about the clarity (though that's less an issue when you are working in command line, most times anyway). I have no idea if the accent is a standard character in every keyboard layout, so I am not sure that that is a valid argument on any sane keyboard. I just checked and that accent is even part of the 7 b= it ascii table (dec 96), which is as minimal as you can get nowadays unless = we are speaking about some exotic embedded stuff or ancient device of the caverns, and in that case, probably the same could apply to $, and even (= ) :P --=20 Jes=C3=BAs Guerrero
