Re: Long filenames in DOS/Windows and Unix/Linux

I wrote:

If you avoid newlines in filenames, Posix shells can cope with anything
else if you set “IFS=$'\n'”.

Sorry, no, it looks like the “$'...'” syntax for string literals is not
from Posix, it’s a Bash-ism.

I think it’s still possible to assign a newline to $IFS, it just takes a
bit more work.
