| Oct 31, 2016 at 7:03 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | @Scott not knowing bash syntax it is very difficult to see that it is actually an answer, a couple of extra lines saying "do this" and "then you get this" can work wonders. When your input and output look nearly the same clarity is key. The original answer also started with a type of comment that made it look a lot like a comment on the question rather than an answer. As it stands though it also duplicates at least one other answer in the method used so that could have been another factor for the mod that handled the flag. OP has >20 rep on at least 3 sites so the would have access to chat. | |

The first revision of the first answer has a code block demonstrating the exact procedure that the answer just described. … … … It’s not a good answer, but I believe that it should not have been deleted. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … P.S. @Mokubai: Doesn’t chat require 20 rep? The OP doesn’t have that yet. | |
| Oct 31, 2016 at 5:37 | comment | added | Scott - Слава Україні | I am a little baffled by the intensity of the criticism of HiTechHiTouch and his or her answer(s). In particular, the criticism that he describes "a trick", but he does not actually state how to do it. Huh? What? I’m looking at the first revision of the first answer. It says, “… do an assignment (to the variable echo) ….” Lots of answers skimp on details; if the bones of an answer are there, but the meat is thin, and you don’t understand it, you should post a comment asking for an explanation. … (Cont’d) | |
| Oct 30, 2016 at 3:13 | comment | added | HiTechHiTouch | Lord know how pedantic I must become. The post had a "code" section with two examples, each an assignment statement. There is no multi-step program involved here. The answer to "not have two virtually duplicate lines printed" involves no redirection, no setting/resetting shell options, no command lists, nothing fancier than doing a single assignment. How much explanation is required to say "just do an assignment, instead of an echo?" | |
| Oct 28, 2016 at 12:49 | comment | added | Ramhound | +1 to this answer. Answers that tell me to do something, without telling me what to do, are answers I expect from websites like Yahoo Answers. If I don't know how to do something, I want the answer I am reading, to tell me how to do it, not tell me to do something. I likely already know, that I need to do that thing anyways, I am just not clear how to acomplish it. | |
