Subject: parameter expansion question
Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2003 18:32:14 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030118233214.43327.qmail@web12305.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi,

I can force a variable to be expanded by using
${~var}.  Is there any way I can force a string to be
expanded without assigning it to a variable first?

I'm after the same information for filename
generation.  For exampel:

Right now, if I want to see if the glob pattern
'(#i)${i%.rar}*.par' would match anything, I would do:

  parFile=`print (#i)${i%.rar}*.par`

if I use: 


  parFile=(#i)${i%.rar}*.par

Zsh thinks I want an array.
