Finally, something I can answer. ;-)
> i want to:
> * kill filenames w/ spaces: e.g. this\ is\ file.txt
rm *[\ ]*
This uses a character class with a space in it '[\ ]'
surrounded by whatever '*' which zsh understands as
any file with a space in its name.
> * maybe even the bracketed part:
> find { -name '*.h' }
print **/*.h
This uses the '**/' to tell zsh to glob recursively,
and the '*.h' says to look for '*.h' while it's at it.
If you study zsh's globbing, you'll find that it can
do a lot of the same things the find(1) program can
do.
To learn about some of zsh's find-like abilities,
$(man zshexpn) and search for "Glob Qualifiers".
Glob qualifiers allow you to put an expression in
parentheses after a glob pattern to make the glob
more specific.
For example:
find . -type d # find directories only
can be expressed in zsh as:
print -l **/*(/) # (/) means directories only
I only suggest starting with glob qualifiers, because
I found it the most interesting (and least intimidating)
place to start. To get the whole picture, $(man zshexpn)
and search for the "FILENAME EXPANSION" section.
