in reply to Playing with code found on Perlmonks

This could be rewritten:

fname=`echo $fname|sed 's/~/\/home\/ben/g'`

Perhaps:

fname=`echo $fname|perl -pe "s#~#$HOME#g"`

    Oh - I hadn't realized we were golfing. In Unix, as in Perl, TMTOWTDI.

    # Bourne shell and derivatives fname=`eval echo $fname` # Modern shells (e.g., Bash) fname=${fname/\~/$HOME}

    Your turn, m'sieu? :)
