: I am trying to match all folders in the CWD which are in the format
: YYYY-MM-DD.
: if [ "$i" = 2[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9] ]
This gets expanded to all the directories matching it. See
"CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS: ....
Normal shell expansion is performed on the file, string and pattern
arguments, but the result of each expansion is constrained to be a
single word, similar to the effect of double quotes."
You're trying to match each against (in your case with MARK_DIRS set)
"2005-08-24/ 2005-08-26/ 2005-08-27/ 2005-08-28/ 2005-08-29/"
Try a different solution, e.g.:
for i in *(^M)
do
if [ -d "$i" ]; then
case $i in
2[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]) echo "YES: $i";;
*) echo "no: $i" ;;
esac
fi
done
