Subject: Using array subscript flags with @ and *
Date: Sat, 22 Jun 1996 15:43:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <960622154340.ZM9978@candle.brasslantern.com> (raw)
Seems to me that this *should* work, though it doesn't:
zsh% : "$foo[(f)@]"
zsh: bad math expression: unbalanced stack
What I want to do is treat the string value of foo as an array of lines,
and quote each line as a separate "word". There's no other subscripting
construction that duplicates this effect; $foo[(f)1,(f)-1] is equivalent
to $foo[*], not $foo[@].
