Thread: Re: [Fish-users] lpr copies option

[I forgot to Cc the mailing list with this, so sorry about the 
duplicate message, Bryan.]

Since the hash mark # seems to simply start a comment in fish, it needs 
to be escaped in order to allow the command to use it. Otherwise your 
command would end up being something like lpr -, which makes sense that 
it would be unrecognized.

Is there an issue with either using lpr -\# copies or lpr "-#" copies 
for your command? Either one seems to produce the same response as bash 
does with lpr -# copies.

It seems from what I can tell that bash only begins a comment when the 
hash mark # begins a "word", or rather, has a space/newline before it, 
while fish will begin a comment with any unescaped unquoted hash.
