Dec 22, 2012 at 23:12 comment added Emanuel Berg @ire_and_curses: Next time you guys have a bulletproof solution, why don't you just write a proper answer and be done with it? But, OK, I'm sure it works the way you have the solution drawn up in your head, I'm not doubting that. But, look at the guy below, that's the way to do it.

Dec 22, 2012 at 23:08 comment added ire_and_curses Of course 'it works' with backticks. But that evaluates the expression immediately, which apparently is not what you want (although that is not at all clear from your example). The eval solution provided is the correct way to defer execution until a later date.
Dec 22, 2012 at 23:05 comment added Rahul Patil @EmanuelBerg , sorry that's back-tick issue . when i use back-tick over back-tick then it's not shown as expected that why i tried it again and again.

Dec 22, 2012 at 23:01 comment added Emanuel Berg @RahulPatil: I'm not reading any more of your comments, if and when you get it to work, write a proper answer.
Dec 22, 2012 at 23:00 comment added Emanuel Berg @ire_and_curses: First, it doesn't work with backticks, second, I want the third (and second) line -- that's the point of the question, to store a command, and be able to either echo it, or invoke it, later.

Dec 22, 2012 at 22:56 comment added ire_and_curses You don't need the third line if you use backticks.
Dec 22, 2012 at 22:49 comment added Emanuel Berg @peterph: What I can see, that doesn't work.
Dec 22, 2012 at 22:48 comment added Emanuel Berg @RahulPatil: That doesn't seem to work.
Dec 22, 2012 at 22:45 comment added peterph You probably meant to use backticks: ` instead of single quotes: ' - their meaning is quite different.
