Subject: bracket expressions and POSIX
Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2001 14:22:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010629142215.A8431@dman.com> (raw)
POSIX says that \ loses its special meaning within a bracket
expression for pattern matching and also that ! is the
^ character in that context.
So this strikes me as non-compliant:
% emulate sh
% touch \\test abc
% echo [!a]*
zsh: event not found: a]
% echo [\!a]*
\test
% echo [\]*
[]*
% echo [\\]*
\test
More specifically, the first three echoes appear to be
non-POSIX-compliant.
