Subject: Glob specifiers for intermediate path components
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2014 18:32:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAO8h=njW+7we5z+_E8pCYKdCG3UGUqWEJAZpsaQTts25ENpOyw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Suppose I have the following directory structure:
$ mkdir a
$ touch a/1
$ ln -s a b
$ ls -ld a b a/1
drwxr-xr-x 3 jozi staff 102 Nov 26 18:27 a
-rw-r--r-- 1 jozi staff 0 Nov 26 18:27 a/1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 jozi staff 1 Nov 26 18:27 b -> a
Globbing for files within directories, I get the file within the
directory pointed by symlink b too:
$ print -l */*(.)
a/1
b/1
How can I restrict the globbing for the first directory level to
directories only, excluding symlinks to directories? The obvious
doesn't work:
$ print -l *(/)/*(.)
zsh: bad pattern: *(/)/*(.)
More generally, how can I specify glob qualifiers for intermediate
path components? In spirit:
$ print -l a(...)/b(...)/c(...)/d(...)/e(...)/f(...)
where (...) denotes glob qualifiers for the respective path components, or even:
$ print -l {{a(...)/b(...)}/c(...)}
Thanks,
Joerg
