Subject: Exclusion on filename expansion
From: Vin Shelton <acs@alumni.princeton.edu>
To: "zsh-users@zsh.org" <zsh-users@zsh.org>
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=001a11c1c3244ab0ff0509a4c8a2

--001a11c1c3244ab0ff0509a4c8a2
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Using a variable, I cannot get ~ exclusion to work:

setopt extended_glob
mkdir foo
cd foo
touch abc def ghi jkl
ls *~abc~def
  ==> ghi jkl
pat="abc~def"
ls -d *~$pat
  ==> abc  def  ghi  jkl

I think that expansion of $pat is happening after globbing, so in this case
"*" expands to

abc def ghi jkl

without the application of the tilde exclusion.

Is there something I can do about this?

Thanks,
  Vin
