Hi Folks

I hove the problem to set variable in front of executing a command. The
bash manpage says that a simple command is a set of variable assignment
followed by the command

So I think that

variableA=valA nextVariable=next echo $variableA $nextVariable
should echo valA next but when I try this in the bash the echo is empty

Did I understand something wrong or is it a bug?

Regards 

    Franz
