[Techtalk] filtering command line

[anisa khan]

I half misread the OP, sorry :)

Anyway, talking about backquotes... I just thought, to mention it,
in case someone here has not encountered it before.
 
$(...)
can also be used instead of backquotes in Bash.

quite handy and neat, especially when there is a need for nested backquotes, ie:

$ echo $(echo cd `pwd`)
