This talk will go over proper use of bash expansions (e.g., variable substitution) and their less well known forms (e.g., the remove matching prefix/suffix pattern). The former will mainly concern itself with how to use proper quoting to avoid as many word splitting issues as possible and the later with a whirlwind tour of the less common options available.
