Subject: The amazing array feature in zsh
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 21:48:42 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060816044842.44532.qmail@web8403.mail.in.yahoo.com> (raw)
The array subject in zsh is too huge and fascinating.
I discovered this amazing feature of array recently,
assigning values just like we do in some high level
language.
Here is a example,
files=() # initialize to null
for mfile in `svn stat $1 | grep '^M' | awk '{
print $2 }'`
do
files+=($mfile)
done
print -c $files # print with tabs
Notice tha assignment to the array variable +=.
And actually this can be iterated like,
for file in $files
do
<do something with $file>
done
I dont know if any other shell provides similar
feature, but this one is too good and useful, and
makes the use of array in shell very easy. But I dont
think this is documented in zsh, atleast I couldn't
find it.
Regards
sac.
