Subject: [9fans] iwp9: lightweight nonhierachical navigation
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 10:07:50 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1A983C7B-ED49-4685-9359-FF6185C34E62@bitblocks.com> (raw)

Thanks for putting up the proceedings.

The extension described in "a light-weight non-hierarchical filesystem navigation extension" paper sounds a bit like zsh's ** extension. In zsh a/**/b matches all existing paths with prefix a and suffix b, where a and b can be arbitrary subpaths. So for example
  wc sys/src/**/*.[ch]
To wc all .c and .h files under sys/src. Zsh added many more extensions to pick files but ** is the most useful one.
