Subject: Strange prompt behaviour with %?
Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2019 15:31:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <slrnqqeae9.49l.klaus+usenet@ikki.ethgen.de> (raw)
Hi folks,
I have a very strange behaviour.
I have set:
PS1="%{$fg_no_bold[$_usercolor]%}%m: %{$fg_bold[blue]%}?%(?.%{$fg_no_bold[green]%}.%{$fg_bold[red]%})%?%2(L. %{$fg_bold[blue]%}#%{$fg_bold[magenta]%}%L.) %{$fg_bold[blue]%}!%{$fg_bold[magenta]%}%h%1(j. %{$fg_bold[blue]%}j%{$fg_bold[magenta]%}%j.)%E
%{$fg_bold[blue]%}%60<..<%~%<<\${vcs_info_msg_0_}> %{$reset_color%}"
I want to have an eye on the part
'%{$fg_bold[blue]%}?%(?.%{$fg_no_bold[green]%}.%{$fg_bold[red]%})%?'.
When I execute "perl -e 'exit 2;'" several times, I get sometimes a 0
and sometimes a 2. (The same with "/bin/false" but there it doesn't seem
to be wrong that often.
Does anybody have an explanation for this behaviour?
