bash strings

[spaceone]

There should be way more examples for bash string usage:

${foo:2}
${foo%…}
${foo#…}
${foo##…}

etc.

Ah, parameter expansion is great. All but the first feature isn't exclusive to BASH though, as they're also available in Bourne Shell.

This is a very very useful contribution. Maybe we should move it to bash/expansion or shell/expansion ?

[ghost]

Could do, since that would allow it to cover parameter expansion, brace expansion, tilde expansion, etc.
