However, you get them in the indeterminate order in which they appear
in the hash, rather than in the order given in the pattern.  To get
them in predictable order, you need something a lot uglier, like

    ${(e):-\$user\[{login,uid}\]}

part of an associativz array

Hi all, 

some days ago, someone posted this fantastic code :

local -A user
while { IFS=: read 'user['${^=:-login passwd uid gid gecos home shell}']' } {
    if (( ${user[uid]} > 100 )) { print $user[login] }
}
< /etc/passwd

very perlish way to do ! i loved it ... but now i want to extract a part of the aray.

something like : 

$user[login,uid]

any idea ?
