-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi,
I think the introduction of a new variable used by the shell would be cool for advanced scripting. I'd name it $~ or $GLOB, and the idea is that, everytime the shell expands a shell glob, this variable is set to the expanded result of the last glob meta character. The use case arose from the update-jupprc script I sent to miros-discuss earlier. Here is an example: [[ $line = " BEGIN "*" SECTION" ]] && print -r -- "Now in section $~" It would make the implementation of advanced state machines more generic.
