Subject: variables as grouping alternative?
From: Vin Shelton <acs@alumni.princeton.edu>
To: zsh-users@zsh.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Is there a way to use a variable as a grouping alternative?  E.g.:

pkgbase=libpng
f=( $ZIPROOT/$pkgbase-*.(tar|tar.*|tgz)(Nom) ); echo $f

yields:
/opt/zip/libpng-1.6.3.tar.gz /opt/zip/libpng-1.2.46.tar.gz
/opt/zip/libpng-1.2.40.tar.xz /opt/zip/libpng-1.2.31.tar.bz2

x="tar|tar.*|tgz"
f=( $ZIPROOT/$pkgbase-*.($x)(Nom) ); echo $f

yields nothing

Thanks in advance,
  Vin
