I was doing something very simple like: v=5 echo "$v" and expected it to print 5. However, it does not. The value that was just set is not available for the next command.
I recently learnt that "In most shells, each command of a pipeline is executed in a separate SubShell". However, in this case both commands are being executed in the same subshell.
Why does this happen? Is there any way to have this working?
Full example:
$ v=1
$ v=5 echo "$v"
1 # I expected 5!
