Hi,
I have a question regarding ksh-like globbing. I have a
directory with the files `foo', `bar' and `com' and want to
display every file in it that does not contain an a. In ksh or
bash I'd use
ls !(*a*)
for it. If I do a
setopt KSH_GLOB
ls !(*a*)
in zsh it says
zsh: number expected
What am I doing wrong?
Ciao,
Stefan

You need
setopt KSH_GLOB NO_BARE_GLOB_QUAL
Otherwise, the trailing parens are interpreted as a glob qualifier before
they have a chance to be considered as a ksh pattern. This ought to be
documented better.
