Subject: Unexpected results
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2022 08:16:12 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <FB0B3030-396E-4874-B531-E23FCB1EE526@easesoftware.com> (raw)

This was unexpected:

 % echo 'a/path with spaces/in/quotes'
a/path/in/quotes
 % echo !:1:h
quote>

I was expecting the equivalent of

 % echo 'a/path/in'

What seems to work is

 % echo !:1:h'

It just seemed odd to me.
