[PATCH 04/14] appp.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitution

From
Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@gmail.com>
Date
Apr 23, 2014, 13:43 UTC
Message-ID
<1398260646-2660-4-git-send-email-gitter.spiros@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<1398260646-2660-1-git-send-email-gitter.spiros@gmail.com>

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require careful escaping with the backslash character.

The patch was generated by:
for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
   sed -i 's@`\(.*\)`@$(\1)@g' ${_f}
done
and then carefully proof-read.
