Subject: Adding Text to Each Match
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2005 10:39:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051212153946.GA2836@namib.cs.utk.edu> (raw)
Is there a non-loop way to replicate text for each filename matching a
pattern? For example, I'm trying to generate e-mail messages with
attachments that match a pattern to send with mutt. Each attachment
needs to be specified with the -a option.
echo body | mutt -a file1_foo -a file2_foo \
-s "Here's your foo" username
Is there something in zsh that would let me say
echo body | mutt [prefix all matches to *foo with -a] \
-s "Here's your foo" username
that would expand to the command listed above?
I think there's been some talk of this, but I don't know what to search
for in the archives. Thanks for your help!
