Parsing oddity?

[Grant]

Why does

test -stoday -dtomorrow

work, and

test -s today -d tomorrow

does not work (gives both the start and the due days as tomorrow.

Wow, Grant, that's brilliant!

 

I had always thought, and there were various discussions about this, that you couldn't parse start and due date in the same entry.  It was only able to parse one of those and lead time.  However, it looks like you've managed to stumble on a way to get both start and due dates parsed in a single entry, by removing the spaces.

 

That's going to be such a time-saver for me.  Thanks!

 

Does Andrey even know that you can do this?
