Re: i cant see whats the issue, .. ps1 + propt command + date

[Alex fxmbsw7 Ratchev]

so i havent yet removed the ending newline in the aliases, but now i
got my laptop from repair back, updated, blabla, and tried the same
again on the laptop not on the arm phone, ... and same error was still
there

short conclusion
i have, $prptnow , $prptnow2 and $prptnow3
first and third are visible, second not
i suppose something aliases declare could be wrong here

i tried, declare -p prptnow{,2,3} and 2 was not there 1 and 3 were tho

chet, i told you about not found bugs of lots, this is one
what i meant with not reported bugs is really bugs but it was years
ago where i didnt feel comfortable or didnt know about the mailing
list

since then a few bugs appeared
this one is a big one that i can report

conclusion

i have aliases saveIFS and restoreIFS
i do var1=bla saveIFS IFS=... var2=( $var1 ) restoreIFS
then i do printf -v var3 with var2 as arg but seemfully it yet there
didnt get set
i do that in PROMPT_COMMAND
and in PS1 i use $var3 and wanted to also have ${var2[1]} somewhere

please if someone could take a look at 'as is', the archive is attached

xbl stands for xmb bash linker
usage is

. xbl.bash extra/xmb_ps1_prompt

to load xbl + prompt

best hopes and wishes, xmb

please also understand,workarounds such as ''bugfix of not setting
IFS' etc i cannot use, i can only use 100% working, not 'uh it doesnt
work so..'
