# manipulate the same variable multiple times without storing intermediate
START="1a23_b__x###"
The special variable stores the expanded __last__ argument of the previous command.
This allows some useful optimisations, especially in combination with the no-op command `:`.
BAR="${START//[0-9]}" # a_b__x###
BAR="${BAR%%#*}" # a_b__x
BAR="${BAR/__x/_c}" # a_b_c
```bash
# mkdir plus cd to it
mkdir "tmpdir$$" && cd "$_" # rmpdir1234 (process id)
: "${START//[0-9]}" # a_b__x###
# manipulate a variable multiple times without storing intermediate results

# pitfall/magic missing quotes: $_ is LAST arg

# pitfall/magic command substitution: globbing and IFS is applied!
: "$(echo "a* is born")"# $_ -> a* is globbed even quoted!
: "$(echo "a b c")" # $_ -> "a b c"
: "$(<"file")" # "Content of\n file" $_ -> "Content of file"
