| Jun 11, 2018 at 15:48 | comment | added | Kusalananda♦ | The example might be thedate=$(date), followed by printf 'The date is %s\n' "$thedate". | |
| Jun 11, 2018 at 15:46 | comment | added | Arcticooling | @Kusalananda I see your point that printing it immediately (with printf) is useless. I changed the phrasing a bit, from immediately to sometime later, is it more appealing? | |

| Jun 11, 2018 at 6:56 | comment | added | Kusalananda♦ | Displaying the output of a command using command substitution and echo is a bad example of command substitution because 1) the output would have been displayed anyway, 2) printf is safer to use for variable data. The example could as well be written date | sed 's/^/Today is /' | |
