} Actually in the meantime I found out how to do that:
} files=(/var/tmp/exec.[[:digit:]]*)
}
} But what is still bugging me is that this also matches files like
} /var/tmp/exec.01234.something
}
} I can't figure out how to tell zsh that there shouldn't be anything _after_
} digits. What is the zsh-equivalent of a $ in regular expressions?
All glob patterns are implicitly anchored at start and end; there's no
such thing as a file glob that matches anywhere in a file name.
What you've forgotten is that * in a glob pattern is equivalent to .*
in a regular expression. It's # in zsh that repeats the preceeding
glob pattern. So what you want is
setopt extendedglob
files=( /var/tmp/exec.[[:digit:]]# )
