Subject: noglob and setting variables
Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1999 19:01:36 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.OSF.3.96.990804185405.2268A-100000@alpha3.poco.phy.cam.ac.uk> (raw)

Is this a bug or a feature?

In a directory with 32 files...

alpha3-~% a=(*)
alpha3-~% echo $#a
32
alpha3-~% noglob a=(*)
zsh: command not found: a=(*)
alpha3-~% noglob set -A a *
alpha3-~% echo $#a
1

So assignment using '=' doesn't appear to be a command.  What is it
then?

This is on zsh-3.0.5.

Owen
