globbing problem

globbing problem

[Manfred Lotz]

Hi all,
I like to define a function to display directories only. 

I like to call it with or without pattern like  in the following
examples:


# show all directories
lsd

# show all directories starting with letter m
lsd m* 


# show all directories starting with letter m or letter h
lsd m* h* 


I tried all sort of things and ended with the following which
unfortunately doesn't work either:


function lsd() {
	if (( $# > 0 )); then
	  ls -d "$*"(/)
	else
	  ls -d *(/)
	fi
}


alias lsd='noglob lsd'
		

lsd without parms works fine but for instance this

$ lsd m*
ls: cannot access m*(/): No such file or directory

doesn't work.


What is my mistake?

In the meantime I saw that my question which I posted on zsh.user was
answered on zsh-workers. 

Bart, your suggestion worked like a charm. Thanks for your help. 

In the meantime I subscribed to zsh-workers which seems to be the best
to do.
