Re: some.. bug .. ?

im not sure i understand

this did happen on my bashlink project ( as bashrc etc ) and this example,
but with --norc it works

i dunno where to set -x

changing $e to eval "$e" makes it work
but weird that error appears
i have no empty aliases i think
also eval "$e" makes it work so, ..

im sorry to not understand..

i till i experienced --norc worked, thought, bash doesnt exexute . as var
cause its a bash command, and eval is needed
just on the second+ runs it showed this ( also the var wasnt empty , .. )

sorry again for your efforts

ill try set -x on this piece of code but i dont expect any results
