Subject: Math expressions with 08 or 09 -> zsh2.6-beta10
Date: Wed, 30 Aug 1995 09:50:56 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9508301350.AA01002@phobos> (raw)


These leading zeros are inconsistent.  Math expressions do not seem to
like numbers 08 or 09.

    zsh -f
    % [ 03 -gt 07 ] && echo ok
    % [ 07 -gt 03 ] && echo ok
    ok
    % [ 07 -gt 07 ] && echo ok
    % [ 08 -gt 07 ] && echo ok
    zsh: bad math expression: unbalanced stack
    % [ 07 -gt 08 ] && echo ok
    zsh: bad math expression: unbalanced stack
    % [ 07 -gt 09 ] && echo ok
    zsh: bad math expression: unbalanced stack

in an effort to stip off the leading zero....

    % let x=01
    % echo $x
    1
    % let x=07
    % echo $x
    7
    % let x=08
    zsh: lvalue required
    % echo $x
    7
    % echo $ZSH_VERSION
    2.6-beta10


(thanks for your work on the best shell out there...)
