Subject: Re: is there a way to use *.{txt,zip,tbz,dmg} if one or more might be
Date: Sun, 07 Jul 2019 16:39:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190707163948.6202@Huxley> (raw)
There shold be two ways to do that;
1.) Using extended flags
setopt nullglob # this will last throughout your session
or 2.) Add the 'N' flag like this:
ls *.{txt,pdf,ods,odg,jpg}(N) # this is on a singular basis
You may need to prefix the 'N' like this (#QN) but I didn't have to.
ls *.{txt,pdf,ods,odg,jpg}(#qN)
