| 08:51.52 | bilarh | ok so i went to b&q yesterday and picked up a mid range "black&decker" |
| 08:51.57 | bilarh | jesus christ it was dire |
| 08:52.01 | bilarh | i'm taking it back today |
| 08:52.17 | bilarh | the whole chuck wobbles about as soon as you start drilling |
| 08:52.21 | bilarh | with no load it's fine |
| 08:52.45 | bilarh | and it feels ten times worse than my cheap b&q own brand jobbie from 4 years back |

| 09:43.55 | mindbendr | morsing! |
| 09:49.46 | ChoHag | How can you get the 1st character of a variable in sh? |
| 09:49.51 | ChoHag | ${X:0:1} only works in bash. |
| 09:50.13 | bilarh | with cut |
| 09:50.39 | bilarh | echo test | cut -b 1 |
| 09:50.51 | ChoHag | Using only sh builtins? |
| 09:50.59 | bilarh | there are no string built ins in sh afaik |
| 09:51.13 | bilarh | sh stands for shit, don't forget :) |
| 09:51.45 | bilarh | ksh might work if you want a "standard" shell that is better than sh |
| 09:52.21 | ChoHag | Unless ash/dash has added random stuff, it has :-, :=, :? and :+ as well ash #, ##, % and %%. |
| 09:52.32 | ChoHag | I doubt they would have been added if : and :: weren't. |
| 09:52.58 | ChoHag | I don't want something better than sh, I want the lowest common denominator. |
| 10:13.13 | bilarh | according to my hpux manual |
| 10:13.22 | bilarh | sh posix supports the following substitutions |
| 10:13.52 | bilarh | <PROTECTED> |
| 10:13.52 | bilarh | <PROTECTED> |
| 10:13.52 | bilarh | <PROTECTED> |
| 10:14.06 | bilarh | <PROTECTED> |
| 10:14.18 | bilarh | <PROTECTED> |
| 10:14.30 | bilarh | ${parameter:+word} ${parameter#pattern} ${parameter##pattern} |
| 10:14.38 | bilarh | <PROTECTED> |
| 10:14.52 | bilarh | so i think you're out of luck :) |
| 10:15.12 | bilarh | use ksh if you want a standard shell over multi platform |
| 10:15.20 | bilarh | that does stringy stuff |
| 10:26.56 | ChoHag | In that case I might as well just use bash. |
