Passing sentences to an array

Passing sentences to an array

[zzapper]

Hi sorry me again.

filessubject=($(egrep -i "note [0-9]{3}.*$1" note???.txt))

The above instead of a creating an array where each grepped line is an array element (desired
behaviour" , creates an array of each word in each of the lines.

I haven't got word split set as an option

$ setopt
extendedglob
interactive
login
monitor
nopromptcr
shinstdin
zle

This one ought to be in the FAQ.

filessubject=( ${(f)"$(egrep -i 'note [0-9]{3}.*$1' note???.txt)"} )

Doesn't matter, word splitting is the defined behavior for $(...) and
`...` substitutions.  If it were not, you'd get a one-element array,
which isn't any closer to what you wanted.

Thanx vmuch Bart,
The above solution however had a quoting problem, where the single quotes were preventing $1 being
evaulated.
I evntually fixed this by creating a global alias

alias -g egrepcmd='egrep -i "note [0-9]{3}.*pink" note???.txt'
filessubject=(${(f)"$(egrepcmd)"} )
print -C 1 $filessubject

But are there any other zsh solutions to the "eternal" quoting problem
