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.
