Re: QSH setting a variable

No... $1 replaces ${1}. This is true of any variable... $ROB can be replaced with ${ROB}, and ${ROB} can be replaced with $ROB. I try to use the simpler variant ($ROB or $1) when I can. Only if I can't will I use the more complex variant. I never shy away from using complexity when the occasion calls for it.

But, it's $1 not '$1'.

- Avoid the curly braces, if you can, for globalization reasons. That can be done by surrounding string variables like this
'$1'
instead of
${1}
