Hi Jane
How did the digital gurus not spot that “!”.
I am basically an analog person and nowhere near the full bottle on the digital world. My digital knowledge would probably be referred to as just enough to be dangerous.
But I know that and try to act accordingly. Like I think all these punctuation marks mean something important and any time I have reason to I just look it up and try to put this into plain language.
For instance i know "if x!=y’ basically means if x DOES NOT equal y.
Putting this into this particular situation I would guess that xxxxxxxx!@ would mean xxxxxxxx IS NOT at. Only a guess mind you but whatever I think the “!” would upset something.
I am only butting in here as I have no or very little interest in Bill’s original problem as I try to stay clear of RPi. I merely out of interest looked at the last few posts. This little gem stood out a bit because as I said I am very wary of punctuation marks within any digital statement.
Like I have no idea what you mean by “history expansion”. But I might look it up.
By the way. Your post here looks like the original entry with your name on it instead of “System”.
Was the original some form of AI interpretation or all your own work.
I have a habit of not trusting AI since I saw a couple of questions re a product advertised on line and the AI results were nothing short of ridiculous. This was a query re the ports on a new computer. A front and rear view of the computer were on the same web page just above the AI question box and AI was completely incorrect.

I just checked that vendor’s web page and it appears AI has got a bit smarter. It is now correct. Probably a case of only getting out what you put in.
