Dude, where is noglob?

Dude, where is noglob?

[Marc Chantreux]

hello guys,

there is something i miss from man zshall:

PRECOMMAND MODIFIERS 

       noglob Filename  generation  (globbing)  is not performed on any of the
              words.

so i tried

alias dude!="noglob dude"
dude () { print "$@" } 
dude! where is my car?

but ... :) 

zsh: no matches found: car?

it sounds like "oops... i tried it anyway".

regards

Do you have !-history enabled?  In which case the dude! command works OK
(! not active before a space) but the alias could do anything.  Try

  alias 'dude!=noglob dude'

Works For Me:

torch% alias dude!="noglob dude"
torch% dude () { print "$@" }
torch% dude! where is my car?
where is my car?
torch% 

Are you sure you haven't accidentally created a function named "noglob"
at some point while experimenting with this?

i have no idea what's  enabled there but 

alias dude!="noglob dude"
dude () { print "$@" } 
dude! where is my car?

alias dude="noglob dude"
dude () { print "$@" } 
dude where is my car?

Normally that second one doesn't work because all you've done is create
a function named "noglob" which then takes precedence over the modifier.
You need to define the alias AFTER the function.  Zsh FAQ #2.1 and #2.3.

torch% alias dude!="noglob dude"
torch% dude () { print "$@" }
torch% dude! where is my car?
where is my car?
torch% alias dude="noglob dude"
torch% dude () { print "$@" }
torch% dude where is my car?
zsh: no matches found: car?
torch% alias
dude='noglob dude'
'dude!'='noglob dude'
run-help=man
which-command=whence
torch% functions
dude () {
        print "$@"
}
noglob () {
        print "$@"
}
torch%
