Subject: Metacharacters in PATH variable?
Date: Thu, 9 Jan 1997 10:26:39 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Mutt.19970109102639.olsenc@dtthp169.jf.intel.com> (raw)
Hello:
Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I was wondering if ZSH supports wildcard
characters in the PATH variable. HP-UX uses this new /opt/package/*
braindead methodology for option packages and thus the binaries and manuals
are all scattered under each of the subdirectories. It would be nice if
you could do something like this:
PATH=${PATH}:/opt/{ansic,langtools,audio}/bin
or better yet somehow dynamically find all the bin dirs here and add it to
the path in some sort of compact notation like the above.
Thanks,
-Clint
