hello,
i've come across another strange behaviour of zsh. if an error occurs the
loop is exited and the code below is executed (see example program).
example program (test.sh):
----begin----
#!/bin/zsh
nexistentdirs=(aaa bbb ccc)
while :; do
files=(${nonexistentdirs}/*)
echo "in the loop"
done
echo "out of loop"
----end----
$ chmod +x test.sh
$ ./test.sh
./test.sh:5: no matches found: ccc/*
out of loop
$
$ mkdir aaa bbb ccc
$ touch aaa/fileA bbb/fileB ccc/fileC
$ ./test.sh
in the loop
in the loop
...
[and so on]
i'd expect zsh to simply continue executing commands after the faulty
command but it exits the loop and continues there. perhaps another bug?
thanks for your help,
