#721 closed Bugs (fixed)

Generated files "@()" don't work in regular expressions.

Description (last modified by René Rivera) 

@() file creation and substitution should work in
regular variable contexts. For example:

# creates the test.txt file and sets file to "test.txt"
local file = @(test.txt:E=$(test-content)) ;

# equivalent of ECHO, but to the error stream
local unused = @(STDERR:E="this is an error") ;
