Subject: ZSH 3.0.8 and modifiers
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2002 21:53:04 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020124215304.B32699@gerf.org> (raw)

I was hoping someone could help me with this...

I build up a big array of potential directories that might exist in
the array $path.  I then weed out all the ones that don't exist by
doing:

 path=( ${$path}(/N) )

This works great under the newer versions of ZSH (4.0 for example)
as long as NULL_GLOB and RC_EXPAND_PARAM are set (I suppose I don't
need the N with NULL_GLOB, but it's habit. :-)

But under 3.0.8 (on my Darwin/OS X iBook) it produces an array
with the string (/N) appended to each item.  Is there something I'm
missing?

This is the same with (/) instead of (/N) as well.


Ciao!
