Hello, I have something like
a=('aa bb' 'cc dd');

and I would like to get the quoted representation inside a string, so that

echo -e $b
'aa bb' 'cc dd'

or that

typeset -p b
gives
'''aa bb'' ''cc dd'''

I tried with

a=(sa\ bb cc\ dd); b="${(q+)a[@]}"; typeset -p b
typeset b='''sa bb cc dd'''

and other inconclusive variations

I think I found a way

a=(sa\ bb cc\ dd); a=${(qq@)"${a[@]}"}; typeset -p a; echo -e $a
typeset a='''sa bb'' ''cc dd'''
'sa bb' 'cc dd'

sorry for the bother

hello,

    echo $ZSH_VERSION
    omz=( 'the first' 'the last' )
    echo a isa ${(t)omz}
    typeset -p omz
    echo -e "${(@qq)omz}"

gives me

    5.8
    a isa array
    typeset -a omz=( 'the first' 'the last' )
    'the first' 'the last'

note the -a when you have

    typeset a='''sa bb'' ''cc dd'''

so ${(t)omz} is probably scalar. would you mind unset a and give
my code a try ?

regards
marc

It should be sufficient to do

a=${(qqq)a}

typeset a='"sa bb cc dd"'

Perhaps it should have been ${(qqq@)a}?

% a=(sa\ bb cc\ dd); typeset -p a
typeset -a a=( 'sa bb' 'cc dd' )
% b=${(qqq@)a}; typeset -p b
typeset b='"sa bb" "cc dd"'

Hello, here is the output:

5.8
a isa array
typeset -a omz=( 'the first' 'the last' )
'the first' 'the last'

the result from your script is in fact correct if I assign the
"${(@qq)omz}":

typeset -a omz=( 'the first' 'the last' )
a="${(@qq)omz}"
typeset -p a
typeset a='''the first'' ''the last'''

regards

yes this works fine:

a=(sa\ bb cc\ dd); a=${(qqq@)a}; typeset -p a
typeset a='"sa bb" "cc dd"'
