Hello. I am using fish version 2.6.0. I wrote the following script: cat testing-test.fish: --- #!/usr/bin/fish
test -z $argv; and echo NO argument --- greg@t400 ~/s/bin> ./testing-test.fish NO argument greg@t400 ~/s/bin> ./testing-test.fish 1 greg@t400 ~/s/bin> ./testing-test.fish 1 2 test: unexpected argument at index 2: '2' greg@t400 ~/s/bin> ./testing-test.fish 1 2 3 test: Expected a combining operator like '-a' at index 2 g No surprises when called with no command line arguments or with "1", but after that it goes off the rails. Am I doing it wrong? If so, what is the proper fishy way to test for the existence of command line arguments? Note that I discovered this problem in a larger more sophisticated script, but I have simplified and condensed it. The excerpt from my actual script is: --- if test -z $argv; set delay 300 else if test $argv[1] = -s; set delay $argv[2] else; set delay (expr $argv[1] '*' 60) end --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Fish-users mailing list Fish-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users
