Subject: Short `if'
Date: Thu, 05 Jul 2001 14:57:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Tc0a88d015490060f74@mailsweeper01.cambridgesiliconradio.com> (raw)
I can't get the short form of `if' to work, described in the manual as:
if LIST SUBLIST
A short form of the alternate `if'.
What am I doing wrong? I don't need it, I just need the code, manual and
tests to be consistent.
% setopt shortloops
% if true; print hello
if> ^C
% if true { print hello } # didn't expect this to work
zsh: parse error near `}'
14:55% if true; { print hello } # shouldn't be dependent on shortloops(?)
if> ^C
