29 "Variable interpolation is introduced whenever the '$' character
30 appears unquoted in any argument (except when that argument is
31 surrounded by single quotes) . It may be used to interpolate a
32 variable value, a subcommand, or even the result of a Lisp form."

34 :group 'eshell)
36 ;;; Commentary:
38 ;; These are the possible variable interpolation syntaxes. Also keep
39 ;; in mind that if an argument looks like a number, it will be
40 ;; converted to a number. This is not significant when invoking
41 ;; external commands, but it's important when calling Lisp functions.
43 ;; $VARIABLE
45 ;; Interval the value of an environment variable, or a Lisp variable
47 ;; $ALSO-VAR
49 ;; "-" is a legal part of a variable name.
51 ;; $<MYVAR>-TOO
53 ;; Only "MYVAR" is part of the variable name in this case.
55 ;; $#VARIABLE
57 ;; Returns the length of the value of VARIABLE. This could also be
58 ;; done using the `length' Lisp function.
60 ;; $(lisp)
62 ;; Returns result of lisp evaluation. Note: Used alone like this, it
63 ;; is identical to just saying (lisp); but with the variable expansion
64 ;; form, the result may be interpolated a larger string, such as
65 ;; '$(lisp)/other'.
67 ;; ${command}
69 ;; Returns the value of an eshell subcommand. See the note above
70 ;; regarding Lisp evaluations.
72 ;; $ANYVAR[10]
74 ;; Return the 10th element of ANYVAR. If ANYVAR's value is a string,
75 ;; it will be split in order to make it a list. The splitting will
76 ;; occur at whitespace.
78 ;; $ANYVAR[: 10]
80 ;; As above, except that splitting occurs at the colon now.
82 ;; $ANYVAR[: 10 20]
84 ;; As above, but instead of returning just a string, it now returns a
85 ;; list of two strings. If the result is being interpolated into a
86 ;; larger string, this list will be flattened into one big string,
87 ;; with each element separated by a space.
89 ;; $ANYVAR["\\\\" 10]
91 ;; Separate on backslash characters. Actually, the first argument --
92 ;; if it doesn't have the form of a number, or a plain variable name
93 ;; -- can be any regular expression. So to split on numbers, use
94 ;; '$ANYVAR["[0-9]+" 10 20]'.
96 ;; $ANYVAR[hello]
98 ;; Calls `assoc' on ANYVAR with 'hello', expecting it to be an alist.
100 ;; $#ANYVAR[hello]
102 ;; Returns the length of the cdr of the element of ANYVAR who car is
103 ;; equal to "hello".
105 ;; There are also a few special variables defined by Eshell. '$$' is
106 ;; the value of the last command (t or nil, in the case of an external
107 ;; command). This makes it possible to chain results:
109 ;; /tmp $ echo /var/spool/mail/johnw
110 ;; /var/spool/mail/johnw
111 ;; /tmp $ dirname $$
112 ;; /var/spool/mail/
113 ;; /tmp $ cd $$
114 ;; /var/spool/mail $
116 ;; '$_' refers to the last argument of the last command. And $?
117 ;; contains the exit code of the last command (0 or 1 for Lisp
118 ;; functions, based on successful completion).
