- Build a series of string arguments, iterating over
characters inside curly braces:
string{A,B,C} = stringA stringB stringC
- Example: creating name of nonexistent file
(wildcards can't do this):
% mv file{1,2}.html
mv file1.html file2.html
% cp file.html{,.bak}
cp file.html file.html.bak
- Not just for filenames!
% mail {joe,jan,steve}@foo.org < file
mail joe@foo.org jan@foo.org steve@foo.org < file
% scp foo.com:sub/file{X,23,bar}.c .
scp foo.com:sub/fileX.c foo.com:sub/file23.c foo.com:sub/filebar.c .
