Subject: CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS, string == pattern
Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2021 19:14:28 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ae9325b1-1a8a-1384-3bd0-2286348843e@ckhb.org> (raw)
I would like to execute test on patterns that are dynamically generated and that
change between invocations depending on other data. When I generate a scalar
parameter containing the pattern, construct the test statement, then invoke it,
the test fails. However, if I force an eval on the test statement, the test
succeeds. I do not understand zsh parsing in this case. Could someone please
let me know the mechanics I am missing?
thanks very much.
zsh version: 5.8, patch 460
platform: x64, ubu 21.04, current patches
# test code begin:
unset vs vp r
local -a r
vs=' str1 a2'
vp=
vp+=[[:blank:]]##
vp+=str1
vp+=[[:blank:]]##
vp+=[[:alnum:]]
vp+=[[:alnum:]]
r=( ${(f)"$( eval echo 'test ${vs} == ${vp} && echo hi || echo lo' )"} )
echo ${r[-1]}
test ${vs} == ${vp} && echo hi || echo lo
# test code end.
first test output: hi
second test output: lo
