AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

The problem here is that you're using single quotes instead of double quotes. Single quotes are interpreted by the shell (i.e., before 3dbucket is even running) to mean "I want exactly this text; don't interpret it further", while double quotes mean "I want to do variable and command substitution on this, but nothing else". So both kinds of quotes prevent the brackets from being interpreted as a glob, and prevent a word from being split in two at a space, but single quotes also prevent substitutions.

For reference, here are some relevant manual sections:

quoting in bash
shell expansions in bash
