Subject: Expansion of patterns
Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2005 13:04:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d5u958l3.fsf@jibboom.natpar.dnsalias.net> (raw)
Hi.
I've been wanting to expand patterns that do not match filenames. For
example:
echo a1 a2 a3
could be (hopefully) written:
echo a[1-3]
However, I get:
zsh: no matches found: a[1-3]
I sure can do:
(for i in $(seq 1 3); do echo a$i; done)| xargs echo
but it clearly isn't as simple, and it works for simple cases but
wouldn't work in complex ones.
Is there any way to expand patterns like this in a simple way?
Cheers,
Hugo
