# Tests for the ':!cmd!' variable modifier, which runs the shell command
# given by the variable modifier and returns its output.

# This modifier has been added on 2000-04-29.

# See also:
#	ApplyModifier_ShellCommand

# The command to be run is enclosed between exclamation marks.
# The previous value of the expression is irrelevant for this modifier.
# The :!cmd! modifier turns an undefined expression into a defined one.

# If the command exits with non-zero, an error message is printed.
# XXX: Processing continues as usual though.
#
# Between 2000-04-29 and 2020-11-17, the error message mentioned the previous
# value of the expression (which is usually an empty string) instead of the
# command that was executed.  It's strange that such a simple bug could
# survive such a long time.
