Message-ID: <20030806193557.GA463@DervishD> Mail-Followup-To: Zsh Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i Organization: Pleyades User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i Hi all :)) I'm reading some zsh functions I have here, just for learning some more of zsh. Heck, I *really* like this shell... Well, in function 'insert-files' there is a line, just at the beginning, that reads 'files=( *(N) )', and I want to make sure I understand it. Since it starts with a parenthesis, it is (AFAIK) a candidate for filename generation. The asterisk seems to be the pattern an the 'N' in the parentheses is a glob qualifier (namely the 'set NULL_GLOB for this pattern' qualifier). What I don't understand is, why the spaces around the pattern and the qualifier? Am I missing anything else? Am I plainly wrong? Thanks a lot in advance. Really the power of zsh is far bigger than I expected when I switched to it ;)) Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 http://www.pleyades.net & http://raul.pleyades.net/
