Subject: named directory expansion on strings
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2004 04:29:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <v5mfocam7x43.dlg@thorstenkampe.de> (raw)

Is there a way to perform "named directory" expansion on strings?
Something like "autonamedirs" and the "%~" in the prompt...

% file=/etc/foo
% ETCDIR=/etc
% echo `bar#!$whatever($file)`
~ETCDIR/foo
%
