I have extended_glob
set in .zshrc
.
This works as expected:
[[ "value" = [a-z]* ]] && echo "globbed"
Prints "globbed".
But this does not:
foo=[a-z]*
[[ "value" = $foo ]] && echo "globbed"
Doesn't print anything.
Why is that and what do I need to set, if anything, in .zshrc to make it function?
You can use
foo='[a-z]*'
[[ "value" == $~foo ]] && echo "globbed"
$~foo
notation allows globbing in zsh.
