Good programmers use their brains, but good guidelines save us having to think out every case. |

Nice article! I was wondering what the default values are for $HISTIGNORE. This is not defined by default on my system, (Debain Sid), but does ignore a space by default. I was wondering if there are any other characters ignored by default without having to dig through the source. Can't find any documentation.
Thanks!
Rick

It's not defined (empty) by default! That's why it ignored a space.
