Subject: Expand array into multiple elements per item?
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2011 04:15:50 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.01.1109130337270.10525@hp.internal> (raw)
Three questions:
1. How can I easily take:
somelist=( 'a b' c 'd e' )
and get back:
anotherlist=( -id 'a b' -id c -id 'd e' )
2. ...relatedly, I'm confused by the following:
$ somelist=( 'a b' c 'd e' )
$ print -l - $somelist
a b
c
d e
(i) $ print -l - $^somelist(e:'reply=( -id $REPLY )':)
zsh: no matches found: a b(e:reply=( -id $REPLY ):)
(ii) $ print -l - $^somelist(Ne:'reply=( -id $REPLY )':)
(...nothing printed...)
$
Why does neither (i) nor (ii) work?
3. I thought I recalled a relatively recent addition to parameter
expansion flags for just this use-case. But I can't seem to find the
flag in zsh-4.3.12 patchlevel 1.5346. Still interested in the answer to
the rest, regardless.
