    /tset/POSIX.cmd/mailx/mailx_03.ex 195 Failed


    Test Information:
    Assertion #195 (C): A + at the beginning of a file argument is
    replaced with "$folder/" before shell word expansions
    Command failed: 'grep "IN MESSAGE 1" 'mailx_out_folder/a' >
    /dev/null
    2>&1'
    Command failed: 'grep "IN MESSAGE 2" 'mailx_out_folder/b' >
    /dev/null
    2>&1'
    Command failed: 'grep "IN MESSAGE 3" 'mailx_out_folder/c' >
    /dev/null
    2>&1'
    Command failed: 'grep "record test" 'mailx_out_folder/e' > /dev/null
    2>&1'
    Command failed: 'test -f mailx_out_4'
    Command failed: 'grep "IN MESSAGE 3" mailx_out_5 > /dev/null 2>&1'


    ***********************************************************************

    the SUSv3 TC1 spec states th following

    Filenames, where expected, shall be subjected to the following
    transformations, in sequence:

    If the filename begins with an unquoted plus sign, and the folder
    variable is defined, the plus sign shall be replaced by the value of the
    folder variable followed by a slash. If the folder variable is unset or
    is set to null, the filename shall be unchanged.

    Shell word expansions shall be applied to the filename. If more than a
    single pathname results from this expansion and the command is expecting
    one file, the effects are unspecified.



    The test does the following

    create files aa, bb, cc, dd, ee, ff in the folder directory

    in mailx

    >set dot
    >set folder=`pwd`/mailx_out_folder
    ># copy, write & save
    >copy 1 +a*
    >save 2 +b*
    >write 3 +c*
    .
    .
    .

    then it runs the following checks, that it expects to succeed

    grep "IN MESSAGE 1" 'mailx_out_folder/a' > /dev/null 2>&1
    grep "IN MESSAGE 2" 'mailx_out_folder/b' > /dev/null 2>&1
    grep "IN MESSAGE 3" 'mailx_out_folder/c' > /dev/null 2>&1
    .
    .
    .


    There will never be files a, b, c,... created in the folder directory
    because the spec requires that shell word expansions be used. Thus for
    example, copy 1 +a* will copy message 1 to mailx_out_folder/aa.
