27 ;; These are the possible variable interpolation syntaxes. Also keep
28 ;; in mind that if an argument looks like a number, it will be
29 ;; converted to a number. This is not significant when invoking
30 ;; external commands, but it's important when calling Lisp functions.
34 ;; Interval the value of an environment variable, or a Lisp variable
38 ;; "-" is a valid part of a variable name.
42 ;; Only "MYVAR" is part of the variable name in this case.
46 ;; Returns the length of the value of VARIABLE. This could also be
47 ;; done using the `length' Lisp function.
51 ;; Returns result of lisp evaluation. Note: Used alone like this, it
52 ;; is identical to just saying (lisp); but with the variable expansion
53 ;; form, the result may be interpolated a larger string, such as
58 ;; Returns the value of an eshell subcommand. See the note above
59 ;; regarding Lisp evaluations.
63 ;; Return the 10th element of ANYVAR. If ANYVAR's value is a string,
64 ;; it will be split in order to make it a list. The splitting will
65 ;; occur at whitespace.
69 ;; As above, except that splitting occurs at the colon now.
73 ;; As above, but instead of returning just a string, it now returns a
74 ;; list of two strings. If the result is being interpolated into a
75 ;; larger string, this list will be flattened into one big string,
76 ;; with each element separated by a space.
80 ;; Separate on backslash characters. Actually, the first argument --
81 ;; if it doesn't have the form of a number, or a plain variable name
82 ;; -- can be any regular expression. So to split on numbers, use
83 ;; '$ANYVAR["[0-9]+" 10 20]'.
87 ;; Calls `assoc' on ANYVAR with 'hello', expecting it to be an alist.
91 ;; Returns the length of the cdr of the element of ANYVAR who car is
94 ;; There are also a few special variables defined by Eshell. '$$' is
95 ;; the value of the last command (t or nil, in the case of an external
96 ;; command). This makes it possible to chain results:
98 ;; /tmp $ echo /var/spool/mail/johnw
99 ;; /var/spool/mail/johnw
105 ;; '$_' refers to the last argument of the last command. And $?
106 ;; contains the exit code of the last command (0 or 1 for Lisp
107 ;; functions, based on successful completion).
