Subject: field splitting behavior
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 11:04:47 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <15363.58319.278466.686768@paullew-ultra.cisco.com> (raw)

Take a look at the following:

> var='foo:bar' 
> echo ${(@)${(s/:/)var}[1]}
foo

> var='foobar'
> echo ${(@)${(s/:/)var}[1]}
f

So why it did field splitting on each character when there is no
separator ':' found?  I would expect 'foobar' on the output.

Thanks in advance..
