Re: Conditional actions according to user input

[alex xmb ratchev]

to make globs act instead of flat text , dont quote em

arr=( "*.ext1" "*.ext2" )
for f in ${arr[@]} ; do ..

or for i in "${arr[@]}" ; do
files=( $i )

or just at beginning
arr=( *.1 *.2 )

u seem to have -p or -q somewhere at end , u can
pary=( "-p+([[:digit:]])"  "-g+([[:digit:]])"  "-q" )
files=( ${pary[@]/#/*.} )

or , u go manually thru the list ?
  for glob in "${pary[@]}" ; do
 if [[ $glob == "-q" ]] ; then # quote
files=( *.$glob ) # noquote
 fi
  done

greets
