DeathWolf -> Prob with bash (Mar. 8, '06, 2:31:46 AM)
j=""; j=$(echo file_ss.jpg \| sed 's/jpg/jpeg/'); echo $j should return file_ss.jpeg (ksh returns it fine) bash always returns empty locale is win-ja_JP.windows-932, and bash version is GNU bash, version 3.00.0(2)-release (i586-pc-interix3) EDIT: j=""; j=`echo file_ss.jpg \| sed 's/jpg/jpeg/'`; echo $j does exhibit the same behaviour too... all of it seems really weird... is there any sort of magic variable i modded by error maybe?

If you set the locale to 'C' does it work then? (LC_ALL="C")

In case it helps:(stripped off of obviously completly useless vars)

Since I didn't mention it before: the test code works for me in bash. It works for me in the locales of 'C' and 'POSIX' and 'win-ja_JP.windows-932' (I still happen to be running it from the vi-JPN port a few years ago). It works when I start bash from another shell and on it's own. That nothing changes when DeathWolf changes the locale (plus the same here) seems to be a strong indicator that locale has zippo to do with the problem on his machine. I don't see anything in the env vars to give a clue. The "j" at the end of the env vars should be set to "file_ss.jpeg" instead of "". So it's like the subshell isn't getting run after the initial 'j=""'. Do you have echo aliased to something? What happens when you run it with full pathsnames? j=""; j=$(/bin/echo file_ss.jpg \| /bin/sed 's/jpg/jpeg/'); /bin/echo $j
